The sweet return home
Embedded Files
This is a practice for the restless, the seekers and for the hearts with
a seemingly quenchless thirst to arrive home.
Far beyond poses on a rubber mat, yoga is a way of Being.
Arrive with curiousity to meet the your body, mind and heart exactly where they are today.
My unique style will ask you to slow down and befriend a little playful self-study.
Just go into the room, sit in the center of the room, open the doors and
windows and see who comes to visit.
- Ajahn Chah
Hatha Yoga
Slow and intentional movement to meet ourselves in this very moment. A practice of discovery to learn about our body and how it relates through this world. Asana is our playground to discover deeper connection.
Meditation
A practice on the cushion taught with the intention to bring to our everyday. Beyond a moment of escape from a hectic world or a pause to for momentary welllness, meditation is our home for self-study and to examine our experience as we know it. We sit to create the peace that we seek.
Tapas Practice
A Sanksrit word meaning austerity, tapas asks us to come to the edge of our comfort in order to build resilience. In this practice the muscles and the mind are invigorated. We ignite our inner fire to clear out old residues to return to a state of feeling rejuvinated.
Breathwork
The foundation of yoga, meditation and life, breathwork is our anchor. Building awareness of the breath on the mat builds an awareness of the breath in our everyday. In times of uncertainty and in times of joy, our breath is there. Awareness of our breath reveals the equanimity available in every moment.
Transformative Workshops
A blend of intentional discussion, movement and meditation to illuminate self-study and build community. Topics include courageous self-compassion, living with a fearless heart and how to be a practioner of non-violence.
