Hatha Yoga
Saturdays 11:30-1pm Upstairs Studio This classical hatha yoga class takes a playful journey through energy raising, yoga poses and meditative practices, generally leaving the practitioner pretty blissed out! Most students in the class are intermediate and the exercises can be challenging but then there is more relaxing deep stretches. Adjustments and modifications are encouraged to suit the individual. There is a great variety of yoga explored and spiritual philosophy is woven throughout the class. Come and enjoy! All Levels Cost: By Donation |
I have been teaching yoga for 12 years now and continue to study
and practice with great interest. I have seen how the science of yoga
brings a growing awareness that not only connects and improves the
physical body but the whole outlook on life as well.
After 3 years of teacher training I received certification in 2004 from Sangita Morgan, a close student of Amrit Desai (Kripalu Yoga). I have learned a great deal from Yogi Vishvketu, Sri Dharma Mittra and many teachers of kundalini yoga. Twice I have received the gift of initiation in Sant Mat and Kriya Yoga, both deeply potent meditations linked by a chain of masters going way back in the history of yoga.
Over the years I have taught yoga to groups and individuals in many settings and have experience with people from all walks of life. I am the former co-owner and director of Brahmananda Yoga Centre on Sorauren in the west end of Toronto and we were featured in yoga's great magazine Ascent in 2007. Currently I teach at the Village Healing Centre and Bohemian Palace, volunteer at Edmund Place and offer yoga for individuals and private groups.
In 2011 I became a certified Personal Trainer Specialist through Canfitpro in Toronto, to marry the broad approach to fitness with the effectiveness and art of yoga for individuals. Feel free to contact me for a free assessment.
There are a great variety of yoga practices from many schools and traditions, and when it comes to which poses to use, I like to play the field! My classes are tuned to the needs of the group in the moment, but tend to be vigorous, fearless and playful. Pranayama (breathing practices) are done throughout the class and the group is encouraged to develop a sense of their own spirit.
I live in Parkdale with my beautiful family, and most of the time, we're happy!
