"What style of yoga do you teach?"

...This has become the automatic response I receive upon telling people that I am a certified yoga teacher. To be quite candid, that question baffled me in the beginning. Yoga is blossoming - in full force - everywhere we look. We see yogis clad in white, practicing Kundalini. We see yogis in spandex, sweat dripping onto the mat, rigorously practicing Hot Yoga. We see Bikram, Ashtanga, Anusara, Iyengar...the list goes on. I see all of these styles as different fingers pointing at the same moon. They're all slightly different variations of a practice that strives to attain a sense of balance, peace, vitality, contentment and a rocking waistline (to name a few out of the countless health benefits). So what style do I teach? I teach the moon. That is, I simply give you the tools: a good space, postures and breath so that you may build your own way to reach your own moon.

My goal is to teach yoga for YOU. There are so many different understandings of yoga out there. There are so many different reasons why people practice it. As a teacher, I don't want to tell you what yoga is, what it's about, or why you should practice it. I want you to try it, and realize what it is for yourself.

Yoga is for everyone. This group is for everyone. This safe, non judgemental niche is here and open for anyone who would like to find their own yoga and feel it for themselves. This group will be meeting for free sunset practices on the beach in Belmont Shore, Free weekly classes at fitness studio Physique on 6th, and we will be gathering for informational sessions that will be addressing:

- The Various Styles of Yoga: What's Yours?

- Health and Lifestyle, the Yogi way: how to nourish yourself and eat meditatively for long lasting satisfaction, and how to achieve balance in mind and body

- Meditation 101: what's going on up there in that mind?

- Meditation 102: I notice my thoughts... and there's a lot of them. Now what?

These are to name a few... Stay tuned and keep an eye out for our meet ups. Looking forward to getting our yoga on!
