      Ashtanga is a challenging style of physical Hatha yoga which combines postures, breathing, engagement of energy locks and holding a gaze point to create a moving meditation and a strong detoxification effect. Designed as a daily practice, the results are: greater strength, flexibility, and stamina, and over time, greater non-attachment and less aversion, less domination of the ego, and greater self knowledge & awareness.

      Polarity and cranial sacral are modalities which integrate mind, body and spirit to restore balance and wholeness. Transformational yoga coaching uses yoga postures as metaphors to help you move through any issues holding you back. All three methods deal with getting free of ANY physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues.
