Shirodhara is a beautiful way to take your mediation practice deeper. A stream of warm herbal oil flows over the forehead and onto the third eye. Shirodhara helps sooth the mind and allows space for stillness, letting the mind go deeper into concentration and clarity. This treatment can work to calm the nervous system. There is a wonderful hydrating effect on the scalp and hair.

Yoga Nidra
“A deep sleep with trace awareness.” Yoga Nidra helps us quiet down, focus inward and find blissful stillness. This is a guided practice that allows us a choice in how deep of a meditative state we need or even want to go into. Think of it as the space between waking and deep sleep, but you are given the tools to be aware in this space.
Jivamukti Yoga
A path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique used for energy healing. Our bodies are intuitive and have the ability to disperse the energy where it is needed most. On a base level we are all made of energy and just like anything else in life there are ebbs and flows. It is important to know Reiki can do no harm.
Movement Release
Meditation through continuous movement. Sitting can prove to be very difficult for a number of reasons. The internal mind is something that can be accessed easily through dance without judgement. The key is to create repetition long enough to allow your inhibitions go away freely. Once you cross this boundary the forms of movement are endless.
Yoga one on one sessions are available, customized to fit your individual needs.
Yoga
My thoughts on maintaining the purity of yoga, are simple. Yoga at the root of the word translates to join, yoke or unite. If we can place our ego aside, we can see we are all the same. A group of souls trying to figure it out. I believe the practice of yoga unites us. As we journey through our practice we begin to learn to hear what matters, love with fullness and connect with the divine within ourselves. Yoga is not a religion but it can be deeply spiritual. It is a practice designed to help you learn yourself better. I am a teacher and a student of yoga. I take my wisdom from those who came before me and will always continue to expand my knowledge with an open heart. Yoga is a way of being, a mind set, a connection space.
