Online or in-person / private or group classes & workshops
My yoga-shared-practice is deeply informed by my background as a contemporary dancer and choreographer and by my artistic research based on breath work and repetition. The class is mostly intended for practitioners with experience in movement and that use the body as a vehicle of connection and transcendence, whatever that means for each person!
I follow the structure of a traditional Hatha Yoga Class, including Mantras, Kriyā (purifications), Ásana (physical postures), Yoganidrá (relaxation), Pránáyama (breath work) and Meditation in relation to the here and now.
My classes have daily focuses and intentions such as alignment, specific body parts and breath work. I incorporate imagery and knowledge from other disciplines such as somatic embodiment and astrology in order to promote the insight of each asana. The asana is not only a shape but also a state and for sure a container of intensity, breath, movement, locks, speed in all the range of it.
This is not just a physical practice but is a physical practice as well, where we bring Yoga into daily life believing that repetition brings potential for revelation and that technique is there to be used and for getting us organized. The body is our microcosmic vehicle of alignment to the macro-cosmos - we get into the body so we can get out of it.
