  • Ashtanga

    A dynamic and active practice that involves pairing breath to movement.

    Ashtanga is a sanskrit word that means "8 Limbed Path" to achieving union:

    1. Yamas: Restraints

    2. Niyamas: Observances

    3. Asanas: Yoga postures or poses

    4. Pranayama: Use of breath

    5. Pratyahara: Withdrawal

    6. Dharana: Single point concentration

    7. Dhyana: Meditation

    8. Samadhi: Bliss or enlightenment

    An asana flow typically includes a warm up, active postures- to encourage strength, endurance and connection-, a cool down and a final resting pose.

    Every session will be created just for you, focusing on your needs.

  • Yin

    A restorative, gentle, slower paced practice where postures (asanas) are held for a 3-10 minutes while supported by props.

    This practice focuses on stretching connective tissues and fascia of the body.

    Practitioners are encouraged to find their own “edge” in every pose—to work within and become curious of the limitations of their own bodies.

    By using the breath, you will learn to surrender, find comfort in the uncomfortable and release trapped emotions and tension.

    This stye of practice sets you up to find comfort and safety with the body. Most often postures are accompanied with props; bolsters, blankets, pillows, or blocks.
