Full Body Work:
Start the year off right with a FULL Body YBR Release! Winter brings on a different set of stresses for our bodies. We are constantly transitioning from the warm, dry and often stale indoor air to the frigid, dry outdoor climate. This is difficult on the muscles, joints, tendons but did you know that the lymphatic system and circulatory system also suffer as they become sluggish with the cold? Fibromyalgia, tendonitis, arthritis conditions worsen with the frigid temperatures. Learn how YBR can help alleviate and reverse these conditions. Feel your best this winter and realize the powerful, cumulative effects of YBR on the body.

Workshop

Repetitive stress and tension over the years causes problems with our sinuses, headaches, TMJ, wrinkles and a myriad of other challenges for our irreplaceable faces! In this workshop, you will learn to stimulate bones, muscle and skin, thereby keeping your face more relaxed AND beautiful!
We are told that the sun and other environmental factors are the primary causes of skin damage. However, just like every other part of our bodies, the face is subject to tremendous repetitive stress from very early on. We begin to frown, squint our eyes, clench our jaws, grind our teeth, tighten our lips and on and on. Each of us has tension patterns that we are no longer aware of that we do constantly, everyday all day. These patterns cause early bone loss, form wrinkles, cause sinus and tension headaches and TMJ.
Learning how to work on your own face with specially designed balls will give you a way to prevent aging and when you feel the difference in your face when it is relaxed versus your normal, you will want to incorporate this work into your self care program.
For those of you who have already taken this, as always there is new material and this is a way for you to also brush up on if you are really doing it correctly.

The Roots of Yoga
Krishnamacharya, who is often
referred to as 'Guru of Gurus', is responsible for almost all of
what we currently know as Yoga. To see him in Asana and Pranayama,
check out this rare video of him taken in 1938:

Welcome and thanks for visiting my site!
I first came into my yoga practice in 1992, stumbling
upon its mystical magic as a Fitness instructor. I
earned my 200 hour RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher)
certification in 2004, long after training with some of
the most dynamic teachers in the West including Seane
Corn, Shiva Rea, Barron Baptiste, Judith Lasater, Gary
Kraftsow and many more. I was fortunate to attend the
first annual Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research in
Jan 2007 where I trained with many great Yoga Therapists
including Larry Payne.
As a yoga instructor, I incorporate both a
Yin style of holding poses along with
Vinyasa, moving with the breath. Yoga has
brought to me a grounding that I never thought possible.
It has seen me through good and bad times ... it is
always there to offer whatever is needed, when it is
needed. It is stated in the Yoga Sutras that this
realization will be had, but only with a very dedicated
practice. The balance between strength and flexibility
gained through yoga is only a physical manifestation of
yoga's benefits. When one opens their heart and mind to
the magic of yoga, they soon realize the gains in the
physical body are the obvious manifestation of yoga, but
this has far reaching effect into every aspect of life.
It is said that the true manifestation of Yoga is
realized when two things happen: One is that the
practitioner feels immense joy that is not a result of
any particular material object or other person, and the
other is that the gap between one's goals and meeting
them is shortened.
As my own yoga
practice evolves through my trainings, so too does my
teaching and I find myself more and more drawn to the
power of breath. Realizing this, yoga can be
practiced anywhere, anytime, under any circumstance
through breath alone.
Where is the
delusion when the Truth is known?
Where is the disease when the Mind is
clear?
Where is death when the Breath is controlled?
Therefore, surrender to YOGA
T. Krishnamacharya

“As a
bee seeks nectar from all kind of flowers,
seek teachings everywhere. Like a deer that
finds a quiet place to graze, seek seclusion
to digest all that you have gathered. Like a
madman beyond all limits, go wherever you
please and live like a lion completely free
of all fear.”
-- Ancient
