My Approach
Yoga to Awaken and Yoga as Therapy
I have been devoted to the practice of yoga and meditation for over 7 years and have over1000hrs of Yoga and Meditation Training certifications including a degree in yoga therapy and pre and post natal yoga. I also have over 10 months of silent meditation retreat experience.
My approach is to provide a yoga and meditation practice that is catered to the needs and intentions that are alive for you on the background of practicing to open the heart. If you are coming to yoga with a chronic condition, we will use a science based approach of yoga therapy which has the potential to either greatly improve or completely heal most conditions. If you are looking to deepen in the meditative and spiritual aspects of the practice, we use an approach that opens us to our true nature, to pure being in the heart.
If you know you are ready to start, contact me for a session booking, and if you want to learn more about my approach to meditation, yoga therapy and hatha yoga continue reading below.

Meditation
Meditation is a fundamental element in all authentic spiritual traditions. It's mastery and integration into our daily life is essential in uprooting any form of suffering whether it be physical, mental or emotional. It is only through taking the time to be with ourselves in silent intimacy that we can truly begin to move from living life from a place of fear and confusion, to living with an open heart in freedom, clarity and love.
My intention with sharing meditation is to provide you with the most authentic and direct path to self revelation as possible using the heart, love, and self inquiry as our gateways to truth and depth. I also offer various styles of guided meditations on topics such as loving kindness and wise compassion to help with alive issues like forgiveness, a closed heart, busy mind, resentment, and much more. I offer private sessions, group sessions and a free guided meditation resource on my YouTube channel. Find this free resource and get in touch with me about private or group sessions using the buttons below.
Although Yoga was originally brought forth as a spiritual practice for self realization, the profound healing effects that take place along the yogic journey are undeniable as it systematically harmonizes and opens the natural energies of the body.
In the last century and primarily lead by Swami Satyananda and the Bihar School of Yoga in India, the yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra were scientifically studied and systematized into a proven healing modality for countless non infectious diseases including diabetes, depression, anxiety, spondylitis, lower back pain, hypertension and so much more. I hold a degree in Yoga Therapy from Yog Vidya Gurukul Ahsram in India, a sister school to Bihar and bring this knowledge forth in one on one sessions.
We work together and build a unique sequence of practice to address your needs and condition. Reach out for a free consultation and we will find out if yoga as a therapy is right for you.
The path of Hatha Yoga is one rooted in the understanding that in order to attain realization, the energies of the body must be balanced and harmonized and the mind must be calmed and controlled. The word "Ha" means sun "Tha" means moon and Yoga means union. Hatha Yoga is thus the practice of harmonizing right and left, male and female, sun and moon energies in the body for the purpose of realizing ones true nature.
​
I offer well a rounded asana practice that is both dynamic to strengthen, tone and awaken the body and balanced with holding postures for longer periods with awareness of chakra (psychic energy centers) activation and deep meditation and breathwork (pranayama). Asana practice a beautiful way to practice meditation while moving the body to prepare us to integrate meditation and the awareness of being aware into our daily life. I offer group sessions or book a private session to benefit from personalized guidance in your practice.
