Warm Up with Yogi Tea
Yogi tea is a spiced tea, a traditional tea from India made with warming spices. It's designed based on Ayurvedic medicine to enhance digestion, increase circulation, and boost your immune system.
Ground down to rise up.
The wind is rustling the leaves from its trees...fall is here...so enjoy these cool and colorful days with Vata pacifying morning yoga poses to strengthen circulation and elimination. Begin with a warming, grounding, and, stablizing yoga practice to balance the cool-dry-mobile element of Vata. Walk away feeling released tension in lower abdomen, peaceful mind, grounded, and emotionally stable with space and energy for meditation.
Upon awakening, do some gentle yoga asanas, including Apanasana, Salabhasana and, Twisted Balasana. The emphasis throughout your practice can be on softening your lower abdominal cavity, grounding your feet into the earth, building strength and stability, and allowing yourself sufficient rest after your practice.

Here are some practical suggestions for balancing the Vata person during the seasonal changes that occur in early fall to late winter.
Let's begin
This is what yoga means to me. Coming to a place of openness, quietness, calmness, clarity, and lightness in the heart. It’s a place of new opportunities, like beginning with a clean slate. Yoga allows us to move our bodies, to clear out the old and create space for the new…new thoughts, new perspectives and ultimately discovering the best qualities of oneself.
Glad to be back
I feel a bit giddy about launching my new website and starting a new class at The Yoga Center.
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my sangha when I start teaching again on July 1. 2021.
