I started yoga at home in 2011 using TV programs and DVD’s because I had lost a sense of physical balance. I started attending classes at Art of Balance Yoga shortly after it opened in January 2015 and found more than the regaining of my physical balance. I also found mental awareness, flexibility, and more strength than I’ve ever had before in a non-competitive and supportive community. I completed my RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training at Art of Balance Yoga in June 2018. My goal as a teacher is to share a class with you that is creative and playful but purposeful and that allows you to take away a sense of balance and renewal. We practice as individuals, adapting the practice to be our own, with a group of kindred spirits. Practicing yoga we are centered within ourselves, yet interacting with others just as we need to be when we leave the studio.

Description

Self Awakening Yoga is an expansion of consciousness through our body's own wisdom.
This practice uses interesting, fun ways of unwinding, tapping, rolling, and thumping to mention a few. It is a practice of awakening prana, the life force, in all of us to bring awareness to and unlock any old and unserving patterns.
It's a practice of inquiry, noticing how we arrive to and through shapes. We query why I am moving this way? What do I feel? Where do I feel it?
It is thru the ASIS principle (awareness if sensation thru internal scanning) that we awaken to ways of change and begin new patterns of healing. We are encouraged to listen to the body as the wisdom unlocks thru the flow of prana, bringing a sense of balance and understanding of our relationship with the breath.
This class is for everyone.
