Small classes allow individualized instruction in the basics of the hatha yoga tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar. I focus on increasing range of motion, strength, concentration and stamina, while achieving proper alignment and a sense of ease in the basic asanas (yoga poses). I also teach pranayama (yogic breathing) and meditation within the context of yoga philosophy. The teaching method includes demonstration, guided practice, observation, hands-on adjustments and the use of props to support healthy alignment and ease in the poses.
