Pranayama & Breathing Practices
The Breathing Practices I teach draw from techniques for settling fight/flight activation in the sympathetic nervous system, and cultivating parasympathetic experiences. Many of us live each with low and high levels of anxiety, frustration, uncertainty, and chaotic requirements on our personal time and energy. It can take time and repetition to recondition our patterns, emotions, and day to day energy.
These practices help us know HOW we are breathing (awareness), and over time make subtle changes to our techniques. Our awareness and how we breath become our gateway to living present, clear, calm, and aware.
As much as possible, I like to share the philosophies and sciences that support our explorations. For my mind, knowing something about the WHYs and WHATs of the techniques allows me to trust and settle into practices that at first can seem different or unaccessible.
All the techniques you’ll learn and practice are accessible to all every body. As I learn more about your current lived experience, I can offer you more tailored feedback and options.
Please reach out to me if you want to talk about your current situation and goals for breathing practices.
Yoga and Therapeutic Movement
The practices I lead focus on FEELING our bodies. As a teacher, I’m interested in HOW we move our bodies more than the shapes we create.
My classes intend to help you awaken and enrich your proprioceptive and interoceptive awareness.
Proprioception describes our ability to know and to regulate where we are in space = our alignment.
Interoception identifies our state of well-being, how ok are we right now in this moment = are we employing a safe alignment strategy.
My classes explore repetition of movement patterns (kriya) and holding of postures (asana). We combine these therapeutic movements and postures to help open our bodies joints and tissues without strain or exertion to restore suppleness, competence, and flexibility.
Shall we begin?
Let's grow together!

Statement of Faith
If we are somehow endowed with participation of some kind of divinity, then we are indeed special, and should treat each other with the respect and dignity this demands.
If, on the the other hand, we are the accidental outcome of blind natural processes in a cosmos that is indifferent to us being here at all, then we are indeed special, and should treat each other with a tenderness and respect befitting such serendipitous surprises.
