I also offer private instruction to personalize your practice to suit your needs.
We consider the physical postures, breathing and meditation practices that would particularly benefit your body and being as well as how to create harmony and balance in your inner and outer worlds.

...much broader and deeper than just the physical.
...NOT an "exercise" program although the body is the vehicle for the process of changing and transforming our lives.
...a practice and a way of living which encompasses the potentiality of becoming who we really are - in this lifetime - in each moment - through conscious awareness and choice.
Yoga today exists in many forms, each of which involves a wide variety of postures and breathing techniques to improve physical fitness
and well-being.
Traditional Yoga encompasses a spiritual component to further one's understanding of the connection between the individual and the cosmos.
The most important thing is to discover the path and the practice that is just right for you.
My path has taken me through many styles and methodologies as well as wonderful teachers of Yoga.
Since I began teaching in the early 1990's I have integrated what has made sense to me for my own growth and evolvement. This process has shaped and formed the way that I offer yoga to others.
I am certified in Kripalu Yoga which focuses on using the practice of yoga as a way to transform our lives, on the mat during our practice, and off the mat in our everyday lives.
I call what I teach "Smiling Heart Yoga," with the focus on creating mindfulness and presence, as we invite the mind home to reside in the heart, sipping the sweet nectar of union and wholeness.
We enter into the physical postures with attention on alignment of the body, along with awareness on sensation and energy flow.
We use the breath to focus our attention, on what's happening in the present moment.
Through cultivating our practice of body and breath awareness, we begin to listen more deeply to ourselves and to each other.
We learn to transform who we "think" we are into who we "really" are.
We learn to live from the inside out, in touch with that eternal essence of being, living fully in connection with our deepest selves as we move through the world.
