Chakra Yoga Workshop Sat,
April 11th
Register here:
Within our bodies there are focal points of
energy that we use, whether consciously or
unconsciously, to affect reality and allow us to
fully experience and realize events that unfold
before us. These focal points are called Chakras.
Learn more about Chakras and how they affect your
health, relationships and your life. Then enjoy a
Chakra based Yoga Practice and
Yamuna Ball work to bring your Chakra System
into balance.

(Sunday)
10 am - Noon
at PILATESPA
Re-educate Your
Legs:
Lengthen, Tone
and Align
for Better Function!
This 2 hour
workshop
will focus
on bringing
alignment
and balance
to all of
the muscle
groups of
the legs.
Understand
how
achieving
this
alignment
results in
the
unwinding of
the pelvis
and
spine. We
take our
legs for
granted-
they carry
us
everywhere
we go - and
when
patterns
develop,
pain
results.
This
workshop is
great for
anyone, but
offers
almost
immediate
relief for
those with
sciatica,
pelvic and
hip issues,
knee
trouble,
spine issues
and much
more! Great
for dancers
and
athletes ... This

A few weeks ago I found myself searching
the Krishnamacharya Yoga & Healing Foundation web site. It seems no
mistake that I discovered a workshop to be held in the US by the
great Krishnamacharya's grandson, Kaustaub Desikachar. I was
able to register despite missing the deadline by two weeks! I am
headed to New Orleans on New Year's Day for four days of Pranayama
training with Desikachar. 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 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
