Yoga & Meditation
I teach yoga classes and workshops that focus on using our bodies as a compass leading us to a fuller, deeper life. Yoga is much more than a system of physical exercises and postures; it's a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness. It is an integrated and authentic system of exercise, breath control, and meditation that has been practiced for millennia, it's safe, comprehensive, and simple. Yoga and meditation promotes physical health, stimulates the mind's potential, and touches one's innermost being. Often clients blend therapy with the desire to develop a wellness routine at home which often includes yoga and meditation. This is something that we can co-create to honor your needs, injuries and personal goals. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance (R.Y.T.), a current member of the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA), and 3HO, the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI), and a current member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). I completed my Yoga Therapist Certification (C-IAYT) in August 2017 and I am proud to add this to my work with clients. Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and wellbeing through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga. The practice of yoga therapy requires specialized training and skill development to support the relationship between the client/student and therapist and to effect positive change for the individual (IAYT, 2012). |

Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal yoga classes keep you limber, tone your muscles, and improve your balance and circulation, with little, if any, impact of your joints. Yoga during pregnancy helps you learn to breathe deeply and relax, and it readies you for the physical demands of labor, birth and motherhood.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga and meditation is based on kriyas, or specially formulated sets of exercises. This allows you to target specific benefits and work on exactly those aspects of yourself that need work at the current time. Any amount of time spent practicing; whether three minutes, or an hour a day; produces significant benefits, and in turn, motivates individuals to dedicate more time to its practice.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (known as asanas or postures), and sequences of asanas, designed to align your skin, muscles and bones. The postures are also designed to open the many channels of the body- especially the main channel, the spine- so that energy can flow freely.
Meditation
Meditation is a simple technique, beginning with focusing the attention on the breath. The practice concentrates and calms the mind. At the heart of meditation is the practice of mindfulness, a practice of moment to moment observation which cultivates a clear, stable and non-judgmental awareness. Meditation practice can be highly effective in helping bring calm and clarity to the pressure of daily life.
