“Some Yoga teaches you about how your body works, this Yoga teaches you about how you work.” – Swami Radha
What kind of Yoga is this?
The yoga I offer is deeply informed by Yasodhara Ashram and the teachings of Swami Radha. Yoga is seen and respected as not solely a physical practice, but also a symbolic, metaphorical, and psychological discovery. We use the body as a way to be in touch with feelings, stories, life material, and what’s happening now. We move energy. We breathe, treating the body with respect and care. We listen to and follow curiosity and insight. We engender confidence, awareness, and a strong foundation from which to stand on and off the mat.
What will our time together be like?
This way of teaching and learning is gentle and regards the body as a place of intelligence. It trusts the timing and pace of the student, their consciousness and of the teachings themselves. Directions are simple and precise, making room for personal experience and discovery.
Sessions can go beyond the physical practice and also include mantra, breathing exercises, meditation instruction and other aspects of the Yogic path. If you have experience with Yoga and want to go deeper or are new to the practice and want to start, private sessions may be supportive to taking the next step.
Prices range from $65-120/session. Sessions are typically 1 hour. If you’d like to schedule shorter or longer sessions please discuss that with me.
