About Yoga
BKS Iyengar described Yoga as “the quest of the soul for the spark of divinity within us.” It is a life-long discipline of continual practice with effort coupled with surrender and detachment (Yoga Sutra 1:12). It is based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga as expounded by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras.
Yoga has the potential to change your life through the practice of asana, pranayama, meditation and the study of its philosophy. My yoga teaching has a strong focus on alignment, with an emphasis on detail and precision. We hold postures to develop strength, stability, and awareness; and we use movement to release stagnant energy and to increase energy and flexibility. Props are used as a teacher:
- to make the postures accessible to everyone (regardless of age and strength), and to minimizes the risk of injury or strain
- to sensitize and awaken parts of the body that are normally dormant
- to deepen the poses and make them more challenging.
Yoga can also be used therapeutically to treat specific conditions or challenges such as: rigidity/stiffness, backache, headaches, insomnia, menstruation, depression/anxiety and many other conditions.
