Yoga is an enormous
school of thought, practice, and philosophy, bridging thousands of
years of history across many continents. There are several branches
of yoga, including the physical practice of hatha yoga, which includes
many of the types of yoga that are practiced in the US.
The form of yoga that I teach and am trained in is Forrest
Yoga. It is a form of hatha yoga which includes both the practice
of postures (asana) and breath work (pranayama). This practice is
focused equally on strengthening the body, increasing flexibility, creating
balance and cultivating a greater sense of inner calm. Some practitioners
will feel more energized by the practice, while others will feel
more calm.
Yoga
as a Part of Your Session
I may incorporate yoga postures or breathing practices into your session
as appropriate. While I am currently only teaching private classes
taught at Children’s Hospital, I am available for private yoga
instruction. I am also available to help you tailor your existing
yoga practice to the specific needs of your body, give you ideas about
improving your practice or to assist you in making accommodations for injuries.
