Yoga "union" in Sanskrit, is a sacred path for connecting deeply with the flow of life, your true self, community and humanity. Combining breath and movement, the physical act of yoga will nourish your heart and soul leading to a clearer sense of self and a vibrant spirit. Embracing techniques that are multi-dimensional, yoga creates balance on many levels. Yoga is guaranteed to meet you wherever you are. Many of us need to learn patience and compassion for ourselves and others; by opening our heart and stilling the mind we can often learn to hear our needs. This benefit can generalize to and ultimately enrich the many parts of our lives. Yoga can be practiced intensively or on a restorative level. That is the beauty and wisdom of yoga...start where you are, do what you can (on the mat or in the world). Yoga is more than ancient breathing techniques, alignment and moving through a series of postures, it is a way of "being" in the world.
Private therapy, meditation and pranayama instruction embraces the original format of teaching Yoga with personalized one-on-one instruction. You can take the time to ask questions, focus on alignment or explore postures at your own pace. A private yoga practice ensures that you are gently guided in the right direction for your particular needs and that you work towards goals in a manner that suits your body and temperament, thus maximizing your own personal growth. Working with individuals, couples or small groups ensures personal attention and a level of responsiveness that differs from that of a large class experience. What better way to integrate the practice into your life than by receiving instruction in your own space? It can go a long way to establishing your personal yoga practice as an integral part of your daily life. Group class students frequently benefit from personalized help to deepen their yoga practice. Sessions include feedback on how to properly perform yoga postures and adaptations for the client's individual goals and body.
