Welcome!

You've probably heard of some of the different yoga styles: Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Power Yoga, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Restorative...

There are common threads of technique and philosophy through all the styles. In most classes I present a medley of styles that incorporate the essence and core components of yoga. The style and content of each class, workshop, or private session is adjusted to suit the needs and desires of the participants.

Yoga is different things to different people. A philosophy, a lifestyle, a teacher, a workout, a stretch, a healer. In its bare form yoga is union. You may have heard it said: yoga is the union of body, mind, spirit. This interconnectedness is not exclusive to practitioners of yoga. As humans we are simply born as an interconnection of these things. What the practice of yoga can do is bring this union to our consciousness — to enable us to be aware of this intrinsic connectedness with which we are born. Quite often, throughout the course of our busy lives, we lose our awareness of the connection. Yet, it is always there waiting to be rediscovered and fully experienced.

In rediscovering this connection, we can find ease, joy, delight, relaxation, stimulation, freedom. Ease with oneself, joy in this world, delight in the childlike, relaxation of tension, stimulation of the mind, freedom from pain.

Namaste,
Jennifer
