My 200YTT certification with YogaRenew is in multi-style yoga with a focus on meditation. I offer group and private sessions in Slow Flow, Gentle Yoga, Vinyasa, and meditation. Generally, sessions start with a breathing exercise, a short meditation followed by poses, and ending with Savasana--our resting pose. Sessions are sequenced for beginners, first time yogis, and those more familiar with yog
a. I was a student of yoga for many years; but, more recently, came to my mat with an interest in meditation, with an intention to bring a greater of mindfulness to my life. For me, personally, yoga and meditation go hand in hand. If there is an ease in the mind, there is a much better chance for ease in the body. And, likewise, if the body is relaxed, the mind may follow. I encourage you to approach your practice with kindness, go easy on yourself, not comparing yourself with others, not worrying about each pose. Together in sessions, we’ll focus on practice, not perfection. If you’re new to yoga, it’s not important to be flexible. If your new to meditation, your mind may not be still. Sustained practice will help to allow inner stillness. Over time, yoga will allow flexibility. You’ll body will become stronger. You may notice other lifestyle differences as you continue to practice--relaxation, patience, more restful sleep, healthier eating patterns, a clearer mind. Over time meditation can lead to a keener self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-transformation. Thank you for seeking out my posts and I look forward to you joining a session!
