Yoga Offerings

 “You don’t worship the gate to enter the temple”

-Ram Dass

The most consistent practice of my 40 plus years on this earth has been yoga. Since I was a kid I have had heightened awareness of my body, many times this awareness was associated with pain, other times with freedom, strength and power. The same experiences come to me now when I make it to my mat, when I climb to peaks, when I swim in the river, yet I have made it a priority to do my best to let go of any negative or positive associations related to my body, as well as my mind. This is the root of where my classes begin. I invite you to explore, to become the mapmaker of your body, to navigate the rough waters and the warm sunlight that exists between your tissues, between your thoughts. 

The practice that I share with you is informed by my 20 years on the mat, over 1,000 hours of yoga trainings, 2,000 hours of bodywork certifications, and deep delves into somatics, trauma, and interpersonal experiences. My studies have been primarily in the Tantric Vinyasa tradition that believes that energy changes the mind, not visa versa. Pranayama, bandhas, mantra, and other intuitive, not traditional practices are brought into my classes. 

I invite you to move the body that your soul has chosen in this lifetime so that your soul can remember who you are. All are invited to explore along with me.

I am happy to be holding space in Tahoe City, CA.
