Thoughts on teaching

In particular my interests are around bringing healing, rejuvenating yoga to people through slower movement, while bringing awareness and sensitivity to the body and to any injuries, discomfort etc. I believe the body and mind have the ability to heal themselves given the time and attention and nurturing possible in a yoga setting. A Yin yoga approach which incorporates Self-Awakening Yoga can be deeply healing. Generally 60 minutes to 90 minutes per class or session allows time to get into the practice. I am also familiar with many breathing techniques which can be used to energize and heat the body, as well as help deal with stress and anxiety. Whether in a meditative seated practice or implemented in a Vinyasa or Hatha practice, the breath becomes an important component of the yoga, and is, paradoxically perhaps, at the seat of the physical practice.
