A unique approach for EveryBody
 
Yoga is a state of being, beauty and grace, a path to becoming whole. It is an invitation to the whole being to release patterns of tension and stress and to experience freedom.
 
This gentle, non forcing approach to yoga is accessible to people in varying degrees of health, fitness, age and experience. In these classes as we invite the body to open into the asana (posture) and come to a place of attention, clear focus, and concentration. Tensions begin to release naturally and give way to a new flexibility. We come in touch with the breath and the movement of the spine, restoring health, vitality and energy to our lives. We open energetic pathways allowing us to move into the asana with ease, and develop greater body awareness, gaining balance, strength, vitality and flexibility. We learn how to release stress and tension and find relaxation. Before we realize it, Yoga touches every part of our lives, helping us live with ease and well-being.
 
My role as a teacher is to guide each individual through this process, using personal adjustments and supporting each body where it is on this day on the journey to opening.
It is not what you do but how you do it.

May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
    By John O'Donohue
Yoga really works:
  • It helps to release stress, tension and anxiety
  • It cultivates greater body awareness, clear focus, attention and concentration
  • It balances the endocrine system, sooth the nervous system (fight or flight), activate the para-sympathetic nervous system (rest and repose) allowing us to relax, sleep more restful and find our natural body weight
  • It teaches us acceptance, non judgment and compassion for ourselves and others
  • We improve balance, strength, flexibility and find freedom of movement in our bodies
  • It gives us an overall sense of vitality, health and well being


Yoga is freedom, play, a state of love, a state of beauty, relaxed openness and a way to restore health, vitality and energy to your life.
