I am a vinyasa teacher; vinyasa means, 'to move and flow with the breath'. I strive to create classes that reflect the moving, flowing, ever-changing nature of life. I start by stepping onto my own mat each and every day to see what unfolds and then sharing that process with my students. Sometimes my classes are slow and steady and other times they are wildly flowing and ecstatic but no matter what the speed of the class you will always find music from a variety of artists in the background such as Bob Dylan, Elvis, Iris DeMent and Krishna Das. There is also chanting, singing and readings from a variety of material as just another source of inspiration and connection to that internal light!
As a classically trained homeopath I believe in the innate intelligence and healing power of the human body but sometimes we all get stuck and the body needs a little energetic boost to assist the healing process. A well selected homeopathic remedy offers that gentle boost with no side effects or interactions with other medications. In order to find that perfect homeopathic remedy I spend one and a half to two hours with each new patient getting to know them as a person. I ask questions when necessary but mostly I listen and try to understand who they are and how they view the world. Through attempting to see the world through their eyes I am able to understand their medical complaints from a deeper, more complete perspective which in turn allows me to choose a single, homeopathic remedy that best suits them as a person. That well chosen remedy is then able to remove all physical, mental and emotional symptoms at the deepest, energetic level of the person thereby returning them to their own optimal state of health.
