Yoga - the linking of the self with the divine and/or true self - is a lives long objective. Through asana, we can prepare the body for pranayama [optimal breathing techniques for regenerating and maintaining life force energy] and meditation [the linking of the mind with the divine ultimately, penultimately the purging the mind and atma {soul} of negative karmic values]. My purpose in this life is to serve you and lead you along the path of yoga. I teach asana, pranayama, meditation, and yoga nidra classes. My classes are dynamic and always challenging. Most all open to all levels as I provide poses for all abilities. I also focus on alignment to not only bring more balance in your body, but to promote longevity of the skeleton and joints. I will give frequent adjustments and assists during class. I can be contacted through this website or by phone at 094-758-6631.
