I can't touch my toes. Can I do yoga?
Yes, you absolutely can! Yoga is a practice. If you find yourself being challenged, you are in good company (they don't call them "warriors" for nothing). Together we will work on building the poses in a way that makes sense for you. The asanas or physical postures are but one of eight branches of yoga. These will be our focus, but in the traditional sense of the word simply breathing mindfully is the "yoga."
Will I get a workout?
I'm tempted to say, "Always," but in truth much of this is up to you. I teach students with a variety of goals. Getting an intense workout is very important for some while others are primarily interested in building their focus or getting some much needed rest and relaxation. Most want some combination thereof. It's worth noting that yoga poses are built on both voluntary and involuntary engagements. The more you learn about alignment, the more you will be able to activate the involuntary muscles that will bring your practice to the next level.
Where will we practice?
I bring the practice to you. Please kindly note that for locations requiring travel beyond 45 minutes and/or inaccessible by public transit, an additional fee will be assessed.
What will we do?
I design each session according to your individual needs and goals; no two are the same. My passion for all things yoga drives me to continue learning and adding to my toolbox in order to best serve you. All sessions will include elements of pranayama, asana practice and mindfulness. Pranayama is breath work, and together with asana practice, it is the key to cultivating mindfulness. By bringing awareness of the breath to physical postures, we invite ourselves to maintain a deep and steady breath through moments of challenge and change. This "pause" before the reaction, this curious attention to the body, the breath and the mind is at the heart of mindfulness. Whether you're trying to make a lifestyle change, go to the next level professionally or simply sleep better at night, mindfulness is an invaluable tool.
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions must be canceled 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged the full session fee.
