"There are words, photographs, videos and even scientific evidence that suggest to you and scientifically prove to you the implications that a yoga practice can have on your life.  But no words, photographs, videos or science paper can or ever will describe the internal experience of going inward to be intimate with yourself.  Nothing can give you or take away from you the feeling,  it is yours and felt as you feel it.  It cannot be described or compared and is completely unique to you, a precious element to treasure and connect with.  

We all need guidance to begin but to go beyond we must develop a trust within ourselves to move in a way that feels right, on and off the mat, and that will and can only develop when we give ourselves permission to feel what we feel without the governing hierarchy of right and wrong."

​

"On our retreats we guide practitioners into adapted postures, inviting range of motion and non linear movement into our sequences.  Practitioners learn how to negotiate what feels uncomfortable in their bodies with encouragement to move with the body and away from strict alignment of traditional yoga postures.  Guiding practitioners into feeling whats right progressively moves them deeper into their own unique structure and capabilities enabling them to develop a practice for themselves that is deeply rooted in listening and presence.  We believe the practice of yoga is not in the asana but in the awareness."
