Yoga
 
My teaching is rooted in a deep trust in the wisdom of the body and the transformative potential of slowing down. I specialize in Yin and Restorative yoga, meditation, and embodied practices that support nervous system regulation and deeper self-awareness. As a Somatic Psychotherapist, I include trauma-informed and contemplative practice into my teaching. I have studied Yin Yoga and Taoist philosophy with Sarah Powers, Stephanie Nosco and Dina Amsterdam. I have taught throughout the Bay Area since 2010 and lead retreats in California and Costa Rica. My classes invite curiosity, compassion and presence to the subtle layers of experience

Wisdom of the body

 

I invite my students to use their practice on the mat to listen deeply to the wisdom of the body to awaken to higher consciousness. My deepest intention in teaching is to create a safe space for self inquiry and healing through the body.

As I have experienced personally in my years of practice, yoga can support us in developing a more loving and integrated experience within. This can support us in our relationships and meeting life’s inherent challenges from a more grounded, connected and authentic place.

I have immense gratitude for my teachers on the path of yoga, meditation and psycho-spiritual inquiry: Sarah Powers (Insight Yoga), Dina Amsterdam (InnerYoga) and Stephanie Nosco.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a passive, meditative practice that removes stagnation deep in our connective tissues (our ligaments, joints, fascia). Poses are held for several minutes to gently stretch, moisten and rehabilitate the connective tissues. The energetic benefits of Yin are based on TraditionalChinese Medicine, in which we are stimulating the meridian channels of the body – rivers of energy (chi) that run through these tissues. By nourishing these organ channels, chi is able to flow more fluidly. Strong flowing chi stabilizes the emotional body, resulting in a peaceful and balanced state of being.
