about
my teaching
At
Be Yoga, I trained in ISHTA
Yoga.
An acronym for the Integrated
System of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda,
ISHTA teaching combines a transformative experience of breath and
flowing asana (vinyasa) with anatomically-based alignment for a safe,
supportive exploration of breath and body. Tantric philosophy and
Ayurvedic principles create a personalized practice that is sensitive
to the individual, encouraging each student to find their own yoga
with acceptance, curiosity and joy. I blend challenging asana with
resting and restorative poses for a well-balanced class that combines
physical awareness, strength-building and flexibility with humor,
mindfulness and relaxation. Accessible yogic philosophy, pranayama
and meditation broaden the practice and incorporate its transcendent
aspects. With
over 5 years and 1,500 hours' teaching experience from “power
yoga” to brand-new beginners, I love aiding all practitioners
in finding their
yoga,
breath by breath and moment by moment.
My background in the
arts, science and world religion means that music, philosophy and
scientific tidbits make their way into my classes; and my ongoing
studies with my primary teachers ensure I am always bringing new
ideas and inspiration to my students!
