HOLISTIC YOGA

Modern life trains us to live from the neck up. We rush, cope, dissociate, produce, eat/sleep/repeat. I know I have (and do!)

Modern yoga practice becomes an exercise modality with the same overexertion and performing. At best, its promoted as a means of escape from the world.

In my classes, we blend movement and breath with yogic philosophy, meditation and sound to help you connect with your body and spirit in real and grounded ways. We practice showing up to ourselves and the world with compassion. My approach is holistic and as culturally respectful as possible — you’ll learn Sanskrit terms and mantras and we’ll keep our practice close to its origins.

As a lifelong artist and myth-maker, a dancer since the age of 4, a practitioner of yoga since 2010, and a qualified teacher since 2019, I’ve learned that yoga practice isn’t about perfection. It’s not about your physical flexibility or your body type (despite what teachers in the west and east would have you believe). And it’s not about chasing a quick hit of inner peace.

Here, it’s about presence with the fullness of the human condition. Most of all, I hope that you can leave my class with the skills to show up with an open heart off the mat, and to be able to be patiently present with the suffering and injustices in today’s world, and divinely activated to serve good in your unique way.
