I teach to all levels from beginner to more advanced. My classes are gentle yet steady with a mix of slow flow Vinyasa set at a slower pace that focuses on proper alignment, stability, and the fundamentals of the poses. I encourage linking the breath with movements for further expansion of the mind, body connection. Props will be used to help safely aid in the alignment to ease into postures. My yoga-inspired cardio classes combine dynamic movements in various sequences to get your heart rate and metabolism moving. My private and semi-private classes focuses on Hatha, Iyengar, Slow Flow and restorative styles of yoga. It is my intention to meet you where you are at in your practice, and to help guide you on your yoga journey towards a greater expansion and understanding.

Invocation to Patanjali
Yogena cittasya padena vācām
Malam sarīrasya ca vaidyakena
Yopākaraottam pravaram munīnām
Patanjalim prānjalirānato’smi
Ābāhu purusākāram sankha cakrsasi dhārinam
Sahasra sirasam svetam pranamāmi Patanjalim
Invocation to Patanjali Translation in the “Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”:
“Let us bow before the noblest of sages, Patanjali, who gave yoga for serenity and sanctity of mind, grammar for clarity and purity of speech, and medicine for perfection of health. Let us prostrate before Patanjali an incarnation of Adisesa, whose upper body has a human form, whose arms hold a conch and a disc, and who is crowned by a thousand-headed cobra.”
Comments by Geeta Iyengar on Chanting these verses before class or practice:
“We chant so that at the very beginning that feeling of sanctification comes from inside, with the feeling of surrendering oneself, because nothing can be learned in this world unless you have the humility to learn. So the moment you think of the Lord at the beginning of doing a practice, you know that you are very small in front of that greatest soul. Once that is understood then the other problems which always arise while practicing, mainly concerned with the ego, will be affected. You know that you are “coming down” to learn something. And you can’t learn anything unless you come down; if you think you are on the top and you know everything, then you are not a learner at all. In that sense, the chanting helps.”
