Practice with Precision

Yoga poses are tools for observing the body — to uncover imbalances that lead to future pain. The way we use our body in daily life is repetitive and unidirectional. So our body develops imbalances that grow worse over time — from minor strains to pains, and eventually injuries. Wellness is maintained through the removal of these seeds of afflictions before they grow into weeds.

Practice with Precision

Every tiny tilt or rotation of a bone changes the muscles you affect in a yoga pose.  You could practice a yoga pose for years without creating real changes if your alignment is not precise.

With experience as a massage therapist, my specialty is providing subtle hands-on adjustments to help you create deeper changes with less effort.

Breathe & Observe

The real practice of yoga is to BREATH and OBSERVE.

Breath is the sensor that helps us feel the inside of our body. As we breathe, the expanding lungs displace air through the whole body. This subtle movement of air allows us to feel deeper into the body. It allows any hidden discomfort to rise to the surface of our awareness. What we can feel, the body can heal — like a cut on the skin heal naturally.

More importantly, breath is an anchor for the mind — keeping the mind away from thoughts. The movement of air inside our body is very subtle, like tugs on the fishing rod when a fish nibbles on the bait. When our mind drifts, so does our connection to the body. The most important part of yoga practice is learning to let go of our thoughts to be able to observe deeper. The less we think, the more we can feel.

Through the practice of yoga poses and meditation, we develop the capacity to observe deeper into our body and mind. The sooner we become aware of misalignments, the sooner we resolve them, the less afflictions we will have in life. This is how to live well.
