COMMUNITY
Danielle`s approach to Yoga is breath-centered and dynamic. The sequences are composed in a creative and intuitive way as a response to what she perceives is being called for to encourage participants to feel centered and grounded in their bodies, clear and centered in their minds and uplifted in their spirits. Often participants report that they feel the class was made just for them- and in a sense it was!
She integrates many tools out of the yoga toolbox including asana postures, pranayama breathwork, mudra sacred hand gestures, bandha energetic seals, mantra sacred sound, bhavana a cultivated mood or essence in the practice. She loves to weave ancient Vedic science and yoga philosophy with more recent developments in health and healing.
The participants are people of all ages and genders that are looking to stretch both their bodies and their minds. Both beginning and experienced practitioners are welcome. The courses are mixed level but accessible to most.
Strength, stability, flexibility and mobility in the poses develop overtime. Eventually, work in the practice becomes more subtle, allowing for a quieter mind, increasing awareness, a sense of play, as well as developing a meditative quality within the practice. Meditation is considered part of Yoga practice.
Self Study Svadhaya has always traditionally been an aspect of the yogic path, one often bypassed in modern practices. For persons interested in self development and wanting to dive deeper into the exploration of their higher Self- as well as those looking to integrate their life experiences in order to cultivate a more joyful and liberated way of living in alignment with their Soul, are invited into the Energy Coursework.
Here one learns how to cultivate awareness on and off the mat and to integrate their own higher consciousness into their body-minds. We explore the awakening process and how to live increasingly from an awake, compassionate and loving version of us that already lives as us, in our essence.
There are opportunities to do this in both group coursework or in individual sessions. No prior experience is required and interest in yoga may be helpful but is not necessary.
As human beings we need each other and we need to continue to find and grow places to come together in unity and community, in Sanskrit we call this Sangha.
Our ability to connect amongst perceived differences and global challenges has become challenged in recent times. We have seen how divisiveness is all too prevalent the world over. Overcoming these challenges is perhaps one of the great invitations of our lifetimes. Many visiting the studio are those drawn towards being the peace that they would like to see more of in the world.
No matter what your prior experience is or your perceived limitations- you are welcome in our courses to explore being, breathing and moving in a non-judgemental and uplifting and inspiring environment. Many participants feel the studio is like a second home and even those new to yoga might feel they are learning something that they somehow already know- like a deep remembering. Participants develop lifetime friendships and we learn to connect in the energy of honoring ourselves and each other in our highest light the true meaning invoked by the gesture and greeting Namsté.
If you are not sure where to begin reach out and we will help you find the right course. Yoga is so much more than the postural fitness that has come do define it in popular culture. It is a time tested technology of living a more balanced, embodied conscious life! Physical well being and flexibility are a byproduct.
