"Through yoga we practice intimacy; we are getting to know our selves.

By becoming more intimate with ourselves, we can in turn become more intimate with others."

By deepening the connection to our inner world, we can transform how we engage with everything and everyone around us.

Having practiced yoga for almost 20 years, I now share the joy of this journey through weekly Vinyasa and Yin classes.

MY APPROACH

My teaching approach is a blend of the wisdom and inspiration I've gained from my incredible teachers over the years: Janet Stone, Tahl Rinsky, Bess Prescott and Gwyn Williams. Their influence has deeply shaped my practice and teaching style.

In my Vinyasa classes, I guide students through dynamic, breath-focused flows that balance effort with ease. These classes are designed to build strength and flexibility, while creating space for personal exploration. I encourage you to trust your body's intuitive wisdom to help you discover your own rhythm on the mat.

My Yin classes offer a sanctuary for introspection and deep rest, incorporating gentle breathwork and considered hands-on assists. Through long-held postures, students can explore the subtler aspects of body awareness and meditation, deepening their connection to both their inner wisdom and the world around them. This practice encourages healing and self-discovery, allowing each individual to explore their own path to inner transformation.

BENEFITS OF YOGA

Yoga, an ancient practice originating in India, is more than just movement; it’s a holistic approach to well-being. On a physical level, regular yoga practice enhances flexibility, builds strength, and improves balance. It realigns posture, supports the immune system, and fosters an intimate understanding of how your body moves and functions.

But beyond the physical, yoga provides tools for mental clarity and emotional resilience. Through breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement, yoga encourages us to slow down, quiet the mind, and cultivate presence. This practice not only reduces stress and anxiety but also increases focus, concentration, and overall mental wellbeing.

Perhaps most profoundly, yoga is a path that leads us inward, inviting us to tap into our natural wisdom and discover new perspectives on what it truly means to be alive.

In the words of Donna Farhi:

"The same force that moves the tides, opens a flower, or creates lightning in a storm animates our bodies... This animating principle is the force behind all the organs of perception: hearing, touch, taste, smell, and sight.... When we develop an awareness of the interior movement that permeates the body, we gain access to the movement of our minds."

Yoga is a means of accessing this deep natural wisdom — to revive and reconnect to the life force that flows within us, guiding us back to our most authentic selves.
