Yoga
A practice of movement to help bring the body back into balance.
I have been practice yoga since high school, when I was first introduced to the practice by my pole-vaulting coach. Over the course of my practice I have studied in India for extended periods of time and trained/studied with a number of wonderful teachers of both the classics and modern adaptations of the practice. I have been a full time yoga instructor for over 10 years and have over 3,000 teaching hours from regularly teaching in corporate offices, museums, gyms, studios, zoos, and public spaces. The greatest knowledge I have gained from this experience is the ability to watch the individual student and see how their movement is impacted by their unique body adaptations. Based on the way we regularly use our bodies, our body adapts to those patterns to make them more efficient and stable. The problem is that most of us use are bodies to sit at a desk, so when we ask it to do something else we find stiffness, pain, and/or discomfort. Using my knowledge of anatomy and physiology I am able to structure a yoga session or series of poses to the individuals needs. Regularly after working with a client on the massage table, I can assess what muscles or structures might be limited and can suggest simple yoga postures or stretches to help the client alleviate any discomfort between massages.
