classes

I practice and teach many styles of yoga. As stated in my bio, I believe there is no one single way to always practice...whether it's your physical practice (asana), or on the cushion. Technique must vary to prevent one from getting in too deep a rut.

I teach:

  • fun and challenging vinyasa flow style
  • more static non-flowing style
  • Traditional Yin Yoga
  • Bikram Yoga
  • Restorative Yoga
  • Somatics
  • Theraputics
  • and a style I created call "YinYasa" (registered TradeMark)

The YinYasa style encompasses qualities of a Yin practice, close to the ground, slow, cooling, longer holds, blended with a flowing nature and sequential building of asanas. People have been LOVING it.

My classes always have a philosophical theme as the inspiration for movement. I offer Sanskrit chanting and a devotional component. As for the physical practice, I work slow and sequentially build a class that culminates in an asana that most people never thought they could do! Finally, I am well studied in classical Iyengar alignment and teach from the place where precision meets passion. I know from experience that the ability to tweak the position of a muscle or bone "just so" allows more space, thus growth and ultimately freedom in one's body, mind and heart.

Monthly Wall Rope Classes:

Also known as "yoga karunta", karunta meaning "puppet" as practitioners are literally suspended like a puppet is from strings. This approach to yoga asana utilizes ropes or yoga straps hung from a wall at various levels and lengths that the practitioner then suspends from in different poses. There is a tractioning effect on the spine and joints, thus stretching the muscles and effecting the nervous system in a very calming way. It is a totally supportive and unique method of practice. The relaxing and lengthening effect it has on the body and nervous system is felt for days.

Private Classes:

Workshops:

I've been traveling a lot more lately, taking my offerings on the road. I'd love to come to your city and practice with you.
