Yoga Energy opened September 24th 2001 and was born out of my desire to share the many benefits I have experienced from practicing yoga. Yoga benefits people of all ages, it relaxes the body and calms the mind, reduces stress and creates more energy. Yoga builds strength, balance and flexibilty. Flexibility is not a prerequisite to practice yoga, one begins where the body is at. If practiced with awareness yoga helps you take techniques that you learn on the yoga mat out to your everyday busy life so that you may live a fuller, healthier and happier life.

I have practiced yoga for over thirty years. More recently and with the intention of teaching I have studied under Aileen Hansen and Yogi Amrit Desai. Yogi Desai founded the Kripalu Center for Yoga and now teaches his innovative approach in the form of Amrit Yoga. I am a registered second level Amrit Yoga Instructor. The sequence that I teach is a blend of yoga postures, breathing techniques, concentration and witness consciousness, enabling the body to release deep layers of tension. The emphasis is on awakening the body's natural wisdom to unleash the healing power of prana (energy). Yoga is a science of movement that origniated in India over 6,000 years ago. Practicing yoga helps rejuvenate the spirit, awaken the mind, and nourish the body. You will find Yoga Energy a safe and inspiring place to explore your journey of yoga.

Jai Bhagwan (I greet the divine within you).
