Experience the subtle aspects of asana while learning the best approaches for your individual needs. Learn at your own pace; in a calm nourishing environment without pressure to perform. Improve your breathing to maximize strength, increase flexibility, quiet the mind and promote over all well-being. Soothe and strengthen the connection of mind, body and soul in a safe setting. Establish an individual practice that can assist you in coming to know your Self. Teaching is available for all levels from the beginner to the advanced practitioner. Teachings are drawn from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads, the Dhamapada, significant Ayurvedic texts, various traditions from around the world and life’s experiences. Contemporary personal growth approaches are also utilized in relation to Yogic principles. Asana methods are drawn primarily from Iyengar, Ashtanga, Scaravelli and others.
