Yoga is not just stretching

 There are several different structures that allow the student to enjoy a rewarding yoga experience. 

1. Tissue Preparation 

Begin any physical activity (including massage) with tissue preparation using the Pranayama, "Om"-ing, Energy Healing Theta breath. 

2. Restorative Practice

A practice to restore and nurture. Excellent for people with health challenges, be it physical or mental. They are exactly what they say, restoring the reservoirs of the body/mind. Rejuvenating with very little physical exertion. 

3. Vinyasa (Flow/Power Yoga) Practice

Used as a warm up or practiced for their own sake. Excellent aerobic, isometric exercise that raises the body's energy, coordination, and mental acuity. 

4. Asana Practice

Practiced to increase opening of the body/mind, develop focus, and patience. Asanas are tools for heightened consciousness and health, rather than a goal to attain. 

5. Pranayama Practice 

Can be used as a practice on its own to increase lung capacity and heal depression that raises the overall life force.

6. Meditation Practice

Deeply healing without exerting physically can be used to attain clarity, focus, and altered states of consciousness.

7. Living Movement

Movement that can be used within a normal yoga practice or on its own that also incorporates breath and sound.   

8. Private Yoga/Thai Yoga Therapy 

One on one therapeutic partner yoga practice (should only be practiced by a qualified Thai Yoga Therapist who is certified through a reputable source).

One of my favorite things I've recently cherished

       I used to believe if someone did a "pretty" pose and it was super advanced, then I would be fit and healthy. Wrong. Yoga is so much more than just being able to look instagram worthy and attaining a flat stomach.         Yoga is a process of confronting your own limitations being able to challenge and overcome them. I have never had upper body strength, core strength, or even great balance. I practiced and practiced Vrksasana (tree pose) until I got it right. I learned how to allow myself to trust myself. This was HUGE for me. By learning this, I can stand anywhere, away from a wall and balance because I learned to allow. Also, I perfected my ardha chandrasana (half moon) asana on my right side. I am still practicing it on my left side because I'm not as strong on my left. I don't have to use any assistance because I practiced so much. I learned from that asana that certain things take time. Focus in the moment and be present. That message resonated so much

Twenty Twenty

What a year.  In January, I began a new chapter in my life across the country 3,000 miles away from my hometown. I had no idea what was about to unfold for me this year, but I knew I was ready for a new beginning.  This was the year I had my first ego death. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to be. I was aimlessly floating through life barely getting by and taking care of myself in new ways. I was eating vegan, adjusting my sleep schedule, and started taking vitamins and supplements religiously.  I began my yoga teacher training journey in March and I knew this going to be apart of my life forever. After awakening my yoga practice like never before, one night I struggled falling and staying asleep. This was the night that changed EVERYTHING for me. I fell asleep on my back, my third eye opened and I saw the lower astral plane. I saw dark entities and floated out of my physical body. When I realized I was floating, I thought to myself "wow. I feel FREE." I rolled ba

Ayurvedic Lifestyle

Living an Ayurvedic lifestyle takes discipline. When I concluded my yoga teacher training, I decided to further explore Ayurveda.  Ayurveda is known as the "science of life". One who eats an Ayurvedic diet and lives an Ayurvedic lifestyle is said to live to their optimal health. I am participating in an Ayurvedic cleanse to honor my body's doshic makeup. By doing an Ayurvedic cleanse, I reduce inflammation and mucus build up in my body.  When the body is out of equilibrium, "dis-ease" manifests. When we completely rid our bodies of inflammation and excess mucus, the body can actually heal itself. I personally believe combining several practices can really enhance a person's well being. Before I list what has worked for me, this is not at all medical advice and always recommend you consult with your physician.  I have done a 360 transformation in a little over 1 year. I began by practicing Bodhi Yoga with an Ayurvedic focus. This yoga opened me up in a new li
