,Yoga is for everyone, and a treasure not to be missed. As we age poses may be modified using straps, blocks, bolsters, walls, or chairs- so that everyone is included, honored and welcomed...  A skilled certified teacher can provide a sense of joy and safety while we all continue along this life-enhancing path. 

It’s such a fun practice! There are so many different flavors of  poses to choose from, and why not enjoy them all!  It’s like going into an ice-cream parlor and tasting all the different flavors of ice cream. So come along and treat yourself…

Standing poses- build strength and stability; backbends- help release shoulder and neck tightness and open theheart and lungs;  twists- purify the internal organs; forward bends – release tension in the backside of the body and cultivate surrender; inversions-improve circulation and bring more blood supply to the brain ; restorative poses-relieve stress related tension in the body and mind; and breathing, meditation and relaxation- allows the mind to rest in the moment and experience its natural joy and peace. 

And lastly and most importantly,  the “off the mat” practices  called the “Yamas and Niyamas”- that help us to integrate yoga into our daily lives. And they are:  non-violence, truthfulness, non- stealing, non-hoarding,  and also-purity, contentment, disciple, self study and surrender..

Yummy!                                                        w . 

I have been blessed in the early days to have studied yoga directly with such masterful teachers as B.K.S. Iyengar, founder of Iyengar Yoga-  where I learned precise alignment, dynamism and therapeutic applications of yoga; John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga- where I learned Universal Principles of alignment and balanced actions for the inner and outer body that are in harmony with the pulsation of the Universe; and Paul Mueller-Ortega, renowned academic scholar in religious studies where I studied the Yoga Sutras, Shiva Sutras,  and other ancient texts adding  a foundation of wisdom to the practice. And to them and others after them ,  I am forever grateful.

 My yoga classes are a combination of Iyengar and Anusara styles of yoga integrated with a spiritual theme; inspiring quote, poem for each class that students can take home with them and  integrate into their daily lives. And it is my great joy to share what i have learned with others.

Thank you for coming to this website and i look forward to being with you soon.
