This 3 hour workshop goes into depth, explaining the reasons why we use mantras (chanting), mudras (hand positions), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), and drishti (mental or eye focus). We will explore the very practical aspects of each as it relates specifically to our health and well-being. Each aspect of a kriya (set) can contain any and all of these individual practices, combining them to create a powerful tool for personal transformation and healing.
Come learn the science: the physiological, neurological, and psychological discoveries that empower us to create real change in our lives. We will practice a kriya together that links all these, offering you an experience of greater awareness, peace and connection to self and others.

PRIVATE ONLINE YOGA CLASSES
Every Tuesday and Thursday

50 min sessions offered between 11 and 3pm PST
These classes, offered one-on-one, are designed with the individual in mind. Upon registering for private classes, you will be sent a GETTING TO KNOW YOU Questionnaire to fill out. This will help me to assess what your particular needs and objectives might be so that I may develop a class that will suit your unique physical, mental, emotional, and lifestyle needs. I will spend some time at the top of the class explaining what we will be addressing through the class.
I will record the class via ZOOM and you will be provided copy to continue to practice on your own, if you wish.
Signature Life Skills Yoga Program©
Every Monday
$800/one session per week for eight weeks
80 min session offered between 11am and 5pm PST
These classes, offered one-on-one, are designed with the individual in mind. Upon registering for the Life Skills Yoga Program, you will be sent a comprehensive Life Skills Yoga Program Intake Form. This will help me to assess what your individual needs and objectives are toward developing a unique yoga practice just for you.
This program takes place over the course of 8 weeks, consisting of modules designed to address a variety of issues that relate to responsibilities and situations in your life that bring you greatest stress, as per information you provide me in the questionnaire. Every session will begin with a discussion of the particular topics we will focus on in the session and tools may be provided to help you move forward in areas you might feel “stuck”. Tools could include exploring beliefs, affirmations, meditations, self-care, mindfulness practices, etc.
The class then shifts toward a breathing (pranayama) practice to settle and ground the mind and stimulate the body. We then move into a personalized Hatha Yoga practice that takes into account your own physical capabilities vs limitations. I have found Hatha Yoga to be a wonderful way to connect to breath, mind and body, expand the lungs and move the blood, warming the body up and preparing for meditation.
We will then practice a Kundalini Yoga Kriya (set). The set will be chosen based on information you provide me about any challenges or lifestyle habits from your everyday life. Kriyas are very specific and scientific in nature such as Kriya for the Immune System, Kriya for Creativity, Kriya for Courage and Strength, etc.
I will record the classes via ZOOM and, after each session you will be provided a copy for you to continue to practice on your own if you wish. At the end of the 8 weeks, you will possess a comprehensive and highly personalized practice that you can refer to over and over again as you continue on your life’s journey.
As part of registering for this program, you are entitled to participate in ALL the CHAIR YOGA, or ALL LEVELS CLASS, free of charge, during the 8 weeks you participate in the program. Program is to be taken in 8 consecutive weeks ONLY.
