I teach my classes in the Hatha Yoga tradition. Hatha Yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. Through practice, we develop a balance of strength and flexibility in our physical bodies and in our minds by learning to balance our efforts and surrender into each pose.Hatha is also translated as “ha”, sun-and “tha” meaning moon. This refers to the balance of masculine aspect-the active hot sun-and feminine aspect-the receptive and cool moon-within all us.
In addition to Hatha, I take inspiration from Restorative Yoga in designing my classes. In my classes, we hold poses for several breaths to allow you to settle into each pose and express your best self in the pose. Then, slowly, we move fluidly into the next pose to allow proper foundation and alignment. Variations in poses are always offered, and students are always encouraged throughout class to move at their own pace in a non-competitive environment.
In my classes I strive to create a welcoming, calming, relaxing, and fun environment. You can expect an ever-changing practice along with pranayama and meditation techniques, hand mudras, and a healthy dose of encouragement. I hope you consider coming to my classes so I can share the benefits of incorporating yoga into your life. Yoga has enriched my life, and I would like to help you experience the same!
