                                                 asana5

My teaching is Hatha Yoga based on the Samkhya philosophy.  Over the years I have experienced many styles of Yoga but I was never able to embrace one specific school of teaching as they all seemed to limit my own development.  I owe all of my teaching to the blessing of "Shakti" the unlimited Cosmic creative force, and to "Shiva" the unlimited consciousness and great stability which has given me the strength to pursue my practice with faith and courage.  Every day is a different day, every lesson is a different lesson.  I am no more than an instrument for Shakti to manifest itself yet I work with an under-current structure binding the asanas together, allowing the mind to reach a state of equilibrium (samatha) and Peace.

The classes are taught creatively as a series of asanas of various strength to balance the doshas and release inner tension, while focusing on the meditative awareness of the practice and the flow/control of Prana.  Different techniques of breathing are taught over the weeks and are intended to restore harmony and encourage self-development.  Each class ends with a relaxation that trains you to let go of all tensions and induces a state of peace and well-being.  Regular practice gradually helps you to integrate yoga in all aspects of your life (sadhana), and as you develop a meditative awareness you realize the quality of your true nature.
