I am drawn to these areas within yoga. I love to continuously learn about this material so that I can practice it myself and share with others!
FOCUS AREAS
Yoga for Sleep
Equip yourself for a better night’s sleep with yoga poses, breathing practices, meditation techniques and a basic understanding of how sleep works.
Offered as a workshop or as a series class.
Yoga for Low Back Pain
Yoga can be a wonderful tool to manage and prevent low back pain, if used appropriately. Learn to release chronic tension, increase circulation, build strength/stability in some areas and flexibility/mobility in others. The Sacroiliac joints are a common source of low back pain, especially in yogis—learn how your yoga practice can make the problem better rather than worse! Read about Deirdre’s journey as a yogi with low back pain.
Offered as a workshop, a series class, or an individual session.
Chair Yoga
Chair yoga is a very accessible way to increase strength, balance, range of motioned agility as well as peace of mind. Chair yoga includes movement and breathing and provides the same benefits of traditional yoga.
Offered as a series class.
Guided Meditation
iRest® is a modern form of yoga Nidra, a guided meditation. iRest® is an evidence-based transformative practice of deep relaxation that calms the nervous system. An iRest practice can be adaptive and take between 10 minutes and an hour.
Offered as a workshop, a group class, or an individual session.
Yoga for Pelvic Floor
The muscles at the bottom of the pelvis are like the basement of your core. They need to be strong enough to hold up the structure above, but pliable enough to allow movement with breathing. Plenty of problems can occur when the pelvic floor is weak or too tight. Gentle yoga poses and breathing techniques can assist in balancing strength and mobility in the pelvic floor.
Offered as a series class or individual sessions.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa can be translated as “linked with breath” and vinyasa yoga is a series of movements that are synchronized with inhales and exhales. Experience the effects of yoga on your body and mind, with mindful attention to alignment and purpose.
