Yoga: A Path to Wholeness
Yoga offers a complete path for a contented heart, peaceful mind, healthy body, and a well-lived life. It’s a practice of aligning with the felt sense of each moment, bridging the inner and outer aspects of our lives. In the USA most Yoga offerings focus on fast-paced, fitness-oriented physical practices, often neglecting the deeper, more spiritual and subtle aspects. While some teachers and studios offer softer, more contemplative practices like somatics, gentle movement, restorative, and yin, these remain in the minority. If this sounds unfamiliar, keep exploring—or reach out, and we can chat about it!
Yoga is not a religion or fitness regimen, but a comprehensive discipline that connects us to our true nature. It’s a philosophy rooted in trust in the Divine, and it can be integrated into any spiritual tradition. Yoga asks us to find, strengthen, and reside in our authentic selves. Simple in concept, but the work of a lifetime.
Yoga Asana
"Asana" refers to the physical postures of Hatha Yoga—both movement and stillness. While many American yoga classes are shaped by fitness culture, the classes I offer blend physical practice with philosophical and spiritual teachings. I often refer to these classes as Yinyasa.
Yinyasa: My Style
Yinyasa blends the slow, deliberate pace of Yin Yoga with the intentional flow of Vinyasa. It’s an approach that varies in intensity, emphasizes precision, and encourages a personalized, exploratory practice. While "Vinyasa" often implies flow, its original meaning is "to place in a certain way." By combining this with "Yin," my classes focus on grounded, potent movement and a space for free expression—far beyond the predictable pace of mainstream American yoga. To truly understand, you’ll have to try it for yourself!
Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy (YT) is a growing field that integrates all aspects of Yoga to address specific needs—whether physical, psychological, or emotional. These needs are often interconnected, and Yoga Therapy can help heal and transform them. It’s an individualized approach that may involve refining body movements, understanding relationships with oneself or others, or fostering wholeness in areas that feel disconnected. Ultimately, Yoga Therapy is about diving into questions, seeking deeper understanding, and facilitating growth.
