YOGA
I teach yoga as a ritual in which we retrieve and revive parts of ourselves and study and celebrate being embodied. Through this artful practice, we can unbind both physical and emotional knots, and reestablish a sense of basic goodness.
My teaching is non-dogmatic and disciplined. Through years of consistent study and practice, I offer classes that are bio-mechanically sound, nuanced, and probe the depths of the relationship between the human body and psyche. I teach practices that are accessible and engage students in learning to guide themselves.
I have been teaching since 2005, and have been trained in several systems. I have taught in yoga schools, studios, jails, public schools, detention centers, settlement houses and in hospitals. I have also taught in many teacher trainings, and enjoy working with new teachers to deepen their relationship to yoga.
I offer the following fully developed curriculums for teacher trainings:
Intensive study of the Yoga Sutras including it’s context in the west
Intensive study of the Bhagavad Gita including it’s context in the west
Trauma, neurobiology and yoga
History of Yoga
Tantric Cosmology/Non-Dual Philosophy
Ayurveda and the mind
Yoga’s concept of the mind/ “yogic psychology”
Subtle body anatomy
