Movement, whether in the form of hatha yoga, conscious breathing, or otherwise, is a vehicle towards self-awareness. Through mindful movement, we gain an experiential understanding our bodies. This type of understanding, in turn, nurtures a healthy connection between body, mind, and spirit: when we resolve our conflicts with the body, we create a foundation of self-love and respect from which we can build a better overall self-knowledge. When we know ourselves, we can build a better relationship with the world around us. My intention is to nurture a casual, playful, and non-competitive class environment. Even in larger classes, I focus on individual corrections. Questions in the middle of class are encouraged. I believe in learning from my students, and I don’t believe that there is one right answer for everyone. My approach is more practical than metaphysical: I am interested in problem-solving to support proper alignment, freedom of movement, and stress relief.
