Over the years I have read countless bio's about yoga teachers and practitioners.  We all have the same story, but with a different name, or trauma or injury.  Like you, there comes a point where curiosity drew me to yoga.  Maybe like you, I first came to yoga for physical health.  Maybe like you, my past held trauma and PTSD.  Hopefully, like you, I found a means to heal body, mind and soul.

​

I teach a physical practice often called "power yoga".  If you come to my power class expect to be challenged.  Power yoga is really an extension of Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga, often practiced in a warm room with plenty of mindful movement.  If you take this class expect to work on physical alignment, strength, flexibility, breath and focus.  Hopefully you'll find that mindful movement (moving meditation) will take you "out of your head" and into a state of flow.
​

I teach Yin yoga, sometimes referred to as restorative yoga (similar but different).  I've had students tell me that Yin yoga is the "hardest easy class" they've ever taken.  In Yin we dive into the connective and fascia tissues with longer holds and breath. There is an internalization that begins with just sitting with a posture for some time.  Breath invites a presence which often releases internal challenges and healing.
​

iRest® can be considered a form of Yoga Nidra. I teach both.  After practicing both and meeting Richard Miller PHD.  I studied and became a certified iRest® instructor.  In an iRest or Nidra class there is usually one posture, laying down.    The body is invited to rest as the mind is progressively guided toward deeper states of consciousness.  Self inquiry, realization and healing can occur In these deeper states of consciousness.  The practice is used by the military for PTSD and chronic pain.  One on one sessions are available.  Curious? checkout www.irest.org.
