Swing into Summer
This time of year for many begins a time of increasing physical activity, weekend “warrioring”, gardening, yard care as well as summer sports of all types
To best enjoy yourself with the minimum of discomfort or problems the annual reminder is to build up to your activity.
The important thing to remember as the years go by is not that age or activity are to be feared and avoided—as if that is even possible—but that we need to bring our
wisdom to the process. The gift of your Yoga practice is that it can be a year round part of that process, enhancing your strength and vitality on the physical, mental and energetic
levels to support all that you do in life.


The powerful practices of Yoga and Meditation to are employed in 
both group classes and in privates sessions to help students:

Suggstions to Build and Sustain your Yoga practice

Be Soft in Your Practice
Sheng-yen

"Be soft in your practice,
Think of it as a fine silvery
stream,
Not a raging waterfall.
Follow the stream,
Have faith in its course.
It will go its own way
Meandering here,
Trickling there.
It will find the grooves,
The cracks, the crevices.
Just follow it out of your sight.
It will take you.".

!Discover!: Posture Alignment Therapy for Health and Chronic Pain Relief: 
Give the body what it needs to heal and continue to serve you and your life!
Posture Alignment Therapy, based upon a functional approach to Yoga and movement as well as my training as  a Posture Alignment Specialist(PAS )
certified by Egoscue®, is an extraordinary therapeutic approach to pain relief and overall fitness. The work has developed over time and is unique in the
unrelenting focus on treating the whole body as a unit to restore proper alignment and function utilizing a unique synthesis of elements of Yoga,
therapeutic movement and functional exercise.
In an individual therapy program, specific functional exercise sequences are developed for each person based upon the posture and movement patterns presented.
These sequences are performed at home and are aimed at resolving specific postural imbalances that have been found to be the root cause of 
chronic and acute muscular-skeletal pain. As proper alignment is restored the possibility of healing and enhanced overall comfort and ease
in your body unfolds.
The method is simple and accessible, powerful and effective.
Whether you have been suffering from  significant long term chronic pain issues, struggling with nagging aches, or seek to create a strong foundation to
enhance your favorite sport and movement practices, this extraordinary work can help you take hold of these issues once and for all!
