Vinyasa Flow Yoga
An eclectic approach to practicing yoga asanas, vinyasa yoga emphasizes the use of the breath to inspire the movement from one posture to the next, creating a sense of "flow" that unifies the body and mind. This practice is easily adaptable to all physical levels and promotes a profound sense of well-being and balance.
Based on a foundation of yoga postures, yoga trance dance, especially as it has been developed by Shiva Rea, one of my most inspiring teachers, is often found to be easier and more accessible than yoga. Simple, sustained, oscillating (circular) movements in the body and the opportunity to cultivate free-flowing, fluid movements to inspirational music generates an profound state of relaxation and opens the mind to new levels of awareness and facilitates the transformation of consciousness.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga poses make use of blankets, bolsters, chairs, the wall, anything that supports the body's ability to deeply relax. During deep relaxation all the organ systems of the body are allowed to enjoy a profound recuperation that lowers blood pressure, strengthens immune functions, and benefits digestion, elimination, as well as alleviating muscle tension and generalized fatigue. Restorative poses are easy, almost deceptively simple to practice, but the benefits are profound, whether we are in recovery or simply stressed out.
