Postural Yoga places emphasis on focused breath, alignment, and balanced action within a pose
Postural Yoga
(structural, alignment focused asana)
The expression “practice makes perfect” denies one basic fact: if you practice yoga without a mind towards alignment, you will get better at creating compensations and deepen muscular imbalances, all of which can lead to injury and pain. Let's rephrase to say: "Conscious practice makes perfect." Yoga arises from its root - Yug, which means to harness. Together, we will harness the power and ease of natural, focused breath, learn to center our joints to create balanced action, and age with grace, strength, and comfort.

Once again you worked miracles. I feel so much better and thank you. ~Susan
In the spirit of telling you the good stuff, not just the aches and pains ... I woke up with a strong migraine this morning. In the afternoon, although I felt like checking out, I did about 45 minutes of yoga and MELT... regular stuff, roller, breathing. As I rolled up my mat, I realized my headache was completely gone. I recaptured the day and had a lovely afternoon and evening. For me, to have a headache dissipate like that verges on miraculous. I have to thank you for giving me such a tool. ~Deborah
I want to be sure and let you know how much I appreciate all the yoga classes you teach us. I have learned SO much from the careful way you break everything down for us. It may take years to finally catch on to something but your ability to describe the proper way to get into and hold a pose is invaluable. I really look forward to every single Friday with you! ~ Laura
Class felt especially transformative for me. I could not believe how improved the range of motion was in my neck! I just felt so much better physically, head to toe, actually...it was pretty amazing. Thanks again, Aliza! ~Devon
