Yoga Del Sol

Yoga is the art of healthy living. It is a path to self-mastery and wisdom and is the science of joy, longevity, and well-being. I'm continually studying and evolving my practice and teachings to bring the most powerful and inspiring benefits to my students’ lives. I'll help you meet your goals and teach you how to meditate and breathe. You'll get stronger and be more flexible. My work can help you recover from injury and back pain. You'll also experience reduced stress. I use language that is easily understood to focus on helping you realize your full potential, radiant vitality, balance, strength, and joy.

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching is grounded in classical yoga that integrates ancient yogic techniques that are enhanced through continuous study and personal practice on and off the mat. I'm also a breathing specialist and this focus in integral to acquiring the benefits from yoga. Your yoga practice will come alive by challenging, strengthening, and rejuvenating the mind and body and connecting with the soul. Through consistent practice, awareness, and non-attachment, the experience (practice) becomes the teacher and the path to finding inner wisdom and self.
