"Yoga is a process of replacing old patterns with new and more appropriate patterns."

What are the classes like?
We practice gentle vinyasa style yoga integrating mindful breath and movement, starting with standing postures, moving to seated or belly down postures, ending with a simple inversion and closing, all designed to be accessible for all levels, and shared with a lighthearted practicality. Consistent students will learn how to refine and purify their mind/body complex through cultivating relaxed, controlled breathing combined with movements and postures, while letting go of performance and moving inwards with curious, playful awareness, compassion and gratitude. We focus on the breath and move attention inside vs. focusing on what it "looks like" on the outside. I often chant in Sanskrit. I teach gentle pranayama in every class. I sometimes share stories or teachings from the Vedas, too. This is traditional yoga that takes time, repetition and consistent effort to integrate, and has a depth beyond simply "doing postures." But, the postures and breath are also easy to remember over time, so you can do a practice on your own at home, too. In short, it's a well-rounded yoga class - and much like what students experienced in yoga classes here during the '70s and '80s!
