Yin

Yin yoga is a cooling practice that calms the nervous system and nourishes the connective tissues in the physical body. It is a way to stay youthful and vibrant by gently stressing the ligaments, tendons and soft tissues. The poses are mostly focused on the lower body and are mainly seated. Some props are used to support the bones; however, the purpose of Yin yoga is to feel into your edge with some sensation. We will find this healthy edge in a handful of poses with longer holds. Reference to the meridians, the flow of chi and other energetic practices will be offered.

hatha

The Hatha style of yoga that I teach is a creative combination of poses linked together in a grounded practice with longer holds. Instead of flowing in between poses we will come back to a key pose as our anchor. Hatha gives us the opportunity to build strength, stamina and flexibility without constant movement, instead we will hold poses for at least 6-8 breaths. Both standing poses and seated poses will be incorporated as well as seated pranayama and meditation.

Slow Flow

In Slow Flow we will build heat gently by creating a slow grounded sequence. We will build heat with longer holds and move through a series of poses to build strength in a centered way. Even though we will be moving slowly, you can expect a strong, heat building class, with restorative poses, a long cool down and an equally longer savasana.

meditation

The meditation class incorporates breath work and is semi- guided with 20-30 minutes of silence. You will have the opportunity to connect with your higher self and receive any healing and or information that you need. It is very powerful to share space and raise your frequency with others, when we sit in silence as a group, we are oftentimes able to access higher energies. This is one way to heal yourself and to also offer powerful healing to the collective.

YoGA NIdra

Yoga Nidra, also referred to as yogic sleep, brings us into a deep state of consciousness that goes beyond the sleep state to a higher state of consciousness called Turiya. In this healing state we can access our true knowing, and bask in our natural state of being which is pure bliss. In this state of being, we have the potential to go so far within that we completely let go of our attachments to the external world; we are given the opportunity to heal from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, and to heal from disease. For the Yoga Nidra session students will lie comfortably in savasana to receive the guidance.

Moon Village

This is a powerful and potent women’s circle centered around the cycles of the moon, astrology and the seasons. Together we will share, dance and shed as we set intentions for each month to shift the energy of our planet. We will remove limitations and old constructs to unite and remember who we are, as women, to connect through our similarities in ceremony. The ceremony will always include gentle movement, pranayama, journaling, shares, and snacks. Planned around the New moon.
