Yoga Instruction
I have been trained in the style of hatha yoga.
The word hatha is a Sanskrit word describing a union of opposites. Ha- means sun, and tha- means moon. Hatha yoga is designed to assist us in pulling together pairs of opposites in our hearts, minds and bodies. Some examples include femininity and masculinity, effort and surrender, stillness and playfulness, courage and contentment. In this form of yoga practice, we begin to move towards a state of balance. As we find this middle point, we are presented with new opportunities for growth and positive change. We are focused on being in the present, rather than the future or the past. We become capable of letting go and surrendering. From a place of openness, we can heal, strengthen, breath deeply, release our fears and live fully with conscious intention!
The postures I choose often reflect this model of self-discovery and the inner journey. My method of teaching places focus on conscious breathing, core strength and spinal alignment. I apply gentle adjustments to encourage my students to find their edge in the pose and breathe through it. I believe in the body’s power to heal itself, and the whole person. Yoga is a form of preventative medicine. The development of strong, supple muscles and a heightened awareness of our bodies make the dedicated yogi less prone to injury. Of course, when practiced with care and the right supports, yoga is greatly beneficial following an injury. An experienced instructor can help you move in and out of poses that will heal and strengthen to prevent future trauma. A private session can provide that extra support and attention that is often needed during times of recovery.
I teach private individual classes as well as group instruction. I am also happy to organize yoga “parties” for a special occasion.
Rates:
