Classes & Events
I offer a variety of modalities and styles, explore my offerings and classes below.
Kundalini and Radiant Body Yoga
Known as the yoga of awareness, Kundalini yoga is centered around Kriya - which means complete action or action of the soul. Kriyas are sequences that balance vitality and relaxation, elevate energy by focusing on the chakra system, and lead to greater clarity, inner wisdom and ultimately personal transformation. Kundalini and Radiant Body Yoga classes combine:
Asana and moving asana - poses and movement
Pranayama - breathwork,
Mudras - hand and arm gestures
Mantra - chanting and
Meditation
Hatha Yoga Classes
With over 30 years of yoga experience, I bring my background in various styles of yoga to my yoga classes. These styles include:
Hatha
Iyengar
Kripalu
Vinyasa
Kundalini
Radiant Body Yoga
Restorative Yoga
Meditation & Mindfulness
Mindfulness and meditation are tools for reconnecting with the inner self, intuition, and higher guidance, which is often hidden under the busyness of our daily lives, activities, constant movement, and overactive minds.
As an experienced meditation practitioner and teacher, I create a container of instruction that is accessible and understandable. I weave the wisdom of awareness, stillness, and presence into all of my teachings. These classes combine talks, practice, and time for reflection and sharing.
Mindful Outdoor Experiences
A Mindful Outdoor Experience, or MOE, is a guided walk or “saunter” into natural settings, to experience the natural world in a mindful way. Elements of a MOE include:
Forest bathing - taking in, with all our senses, the forest or natural atmosphere
Biophilia - rememberance of life and lifelike processes
Species re-connection - breaking through the isolation we have from the natural world
Refuge - finding peace and comfort in the natural world
Overcoming Nature Deficit Disorder
