In-Person Classes on Clinton Ave
Alignment Based Yoga
Join me Thursday and Saturday mornings for alignment based yoga, which differs from vinyasa in that poses are intelligently chosen to compliment specific detail and allow for enough time within the shape to create strength, endurance, flexibility, joint mobility and bring the mind to sensation for deep contemplation. My classes combine yoga poses with upper back and core movements, conscious breathing, self reflective contemplation, and self massage to open the body and connect with breath, thought, emotion, energy, and each other!
WHEN:
Thursdays & Saturdays at 10am
No class 7/16, 7/28, 8/4, 8/6

Open to ALL PEOPLE who can climb three flights of stairs.
Bolsters, blankets, and blocks are stocked, a few mats are on hand, but I encourage investing in a mat of your own as it will become somewhat of a treasured comfort item that you won't want to practice without. I am a HUGE fan of Manduka mats, they are expensive, but I have had mine for at least 15years.

My classes provide a place to pause within the busyness of life, ease stress to allow students to decompress, leaving them feel taller, lighter, and more connect to a flow state.
I often get asked what style of yoga I teach, and you would think after all this time I would have a definitive answer. But the truth is, my teaching has evolved over the years just as my practice has. It is not just one thing. One of the beautiful aspects of yoga, and what keeps me so interested, is that there is no end, no goal, and no one thing to obtain. It is a combination of things that bring you home to yourself. Unraveling the layers you've picked up in a day, a week, a year, this lifetime, and connect you to your core, your true essence, the Atman (Soul). With yoga there is always more to explore and reveal through our dedication to studentship and self growth. Our journey on the mat can foster understanding of how true liberation is bound to one another, and until we create equity around the world, then and only then will anyone be truly free. It is this revelation that ignites my passion to teach from the heart and inspire connection to Self, Source, and Community.
My classes are accessible to all levels and abilities, including those brand new to the practice. My style is eclectic from many decades of being a student. I first began and fell in love with vinyasa yoga, but have evolved to a more deliberate and slow alignment based format, not to say we won't move with the breath, but I have grown tired of sun salutations and feel there are way more fun and inventive ways to warm the body, safer and quicker and to link poses or sequences together. Each class I teach is different, you never quite know what to expect because I like to mix things up, yet have preferences that will become familiar over time. I love to incorporate conscious breathing, massage, guided imagery, information of the chakras and themes that connect to natural cycles of seasons, astrology, and the moon, as well as yoga philosophy and Hindu mythology.
Whether class is gentle and slow moving, focused on stretching, or a quicker pace, focused on building strength and endurance, you will always feel better balanced in your body, mind, energy, and spirit, feeling better than when you walked in.
