VINYASA is a modality of yoga that arose in India in the early 20th century and is essentially linking movements and/or the asana/postures to a deliberate, mindful, and rhytmic breathing pattern.
These Gentle Vinyasa classes are accessible to ALL students - from new to seasoned practitioners. I teach with a lighthearted and noncompetitive pragmatism that empowers students to learn how to breath properly and practice yoga for themselves, with wisdom and enjoyment. This is not the modern fitness-oriented "vinyasa flow" you'll find in gyms or hot yoga studios: it is a more traditional and accessible approach that encourages students to curiously and playfully explore their unique embodied experience of breathing and moving with intention, compassion and awareness. |

ASHTANGA YOGA is a dynamic style of yoga that involves a specific sequence of postures, synchronized with controlled breathing techniques to create transformation, better clarity of perception and greater wellbeing. It is often practiced in a "Mysore" style, which allows for adaptability amongst a diversity of students, and through which practitioners may follow their own pace with guidance from the teacher. Mysore style yoga allows students to develop a personalized practice that can be approached and adapted to accommodate seasons of life, injury, ability - from approaching practice with a therapeutic intent or with rigor and challenge - depending upon the changing needs of the individual.
While most students can attend my group classes, those with mobility challenges or concerns about practicing in public/group classes should consider one-on-one in private sessions.
