A UNIQUE PROGRAM
Being Yoga is a journey within, allowing us to touch the Peace and Happiness present in each being.
Meditation, Pranayama, and Yoga Asanas are practiced in a totally relaxed state. My mission is to provide a safe space and share guidance to remain naturally relaxed.
Asanas performed in a relaxed state will naturally lead to most HEALING.
Each asana will be explained in detail, academic style, such that the participants will learn in depth and be able to self-practice outside the class.

The over-arching theme of the Being Yoga class is to engage in yoga practice with the aim of nourishing the body and the mind with gratitude and compassion while resting in peace and love.
Each class will include: active breathing and warm up at the beginning, Sun (or Moon) Salutations and Hatha Yoga asanas in the middle, and cooling down movements at the end.
