Join us on the mat for a practice rooted in precision and patience. Whether we are building heat with Vinyasa or finding alignment with Iyengar, we focus on the journey, not just the pose.

We often practice Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) to warm up the body. This sequence of 12 postures is a complete workout in itself, synchronizing breath with movement.

A typical class includes a mix of seated forward bends to increase flexibility in the hamstrings and spine, and standing poses like Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) to improve balance and open the hips.

We move through sequences that include deep stretches like Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Pose) and end with calming pranayama to integrate the practice.

This sequence shows a focus on deep forward folds and hamstring stretches, using the wall for support to achieve better alignment. The class concludes with Bhramari pranayama (humming bee breath) to calm the nervous system.

Our classes are for everyone, including the youngest members of our yoga family. We practice foundational poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Halasana (Plough Pose) to build a strong foundation.

This clip shows a dynamic flow, moving from standing backbends to forward folds. This helps build heat in the body and improves cardiovascular health.

Here, the focus is on deep forward bends and hamstring stretches. Consistent practice of poses like Paschimottanasana helps to calm the brain and relieve stress.

We build core strength with poses like Navasana (Boat Pose) and challenge our balance with inversions like Sirsasana (Headstand) against the wall for safety.

Our classes have a global feel, with students from all backgrounds. We flow through seated forward bends and strengthening poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) together.

The 6 AM morning batch is full of energy. We start the day with dynamic poses like Eka Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana (Three-Legged Downward-Facing Dog) to awaken the body.

About Asana Practice: Strength, Flow & Flexibility

My approach centers on steadiness and ease. We don't rush through sequences; you will hear me say ruko (hold) often because that is where the real transformation happens. Whether you are using a chair for support or holding a deep backbend, we focus on exactly where your body is today, not where you think it should be.
