40 Day Intensive

40 day, 5 Week Yoga Intensive: I created this program through my work with my private students. Seeing their outcomes, I was happy to introduce to a studio I opened in NJ. The teachers there have continued it with wide success. 

A yoga intensive is the perfect way to re-inspire or establish your practice. Concentrating on a single area for a short time can have profound, long term benefits by providing clarity on what your days consist of, what you want them to consist of and what is truly important to you! 

This program very clearly prepares one to begin or deepen the Yoga practice. All are welcome! 

There is no simple fix or instant gratification, though the effects of yoga are hard to miss. By taking time to purposefully practice, you may notice:

• (re)developing intimate relationships that mutually respect and work toward a common goal

• partake in meaningful work of any profession with a sharp, creative mind

• awaken spiritual curiosity through self-inquiry; what is trying to move into the world through me? 

• physical strength and flexibility increase 

• more energy during the day and deeper rest at night 

How it works: 

We will meet privately (1:1) once per week for 5 weeks to introduce and refine a practice of observing the mind and enhance sensing abilities . How? 

• asana practice; the physical postures with focus on alignment and working with long-standing postural patterns, unwinding and elongating fascial pathways.  

• meditative seat; finding a position that works for you to sit in stillness comfortably for a short period of time 

• mantra meditation; developing the ability to concentrate 

• body scans; deep relaxation techniques to heal the physical body and begin to observe the subtle, energetic body 

• acupressure and yin; using the knowledge of chinese medicine and meridian pathways to help further unwind long-standing patterns of physical, mental and emotional tension in the body 

• daily practice log; over the sessions, we will practice noticing obstacles in mind, and the body's reaction to them, through a daily practice log. The student is required to fill this out each day, as our sessions will expand on them with the study of sacred texts

The student will receive 1 video recording for at-home asana practice, 1 audio recording for at-home mantra (japa) practice and a template for the daily practice log. 

The body is self-healing. Through applied knowledge and practice, we can use the systems of Yoga and chinese medicine to purify the physical, emotional and mental conditions which have veiled us from seeing the ever present, unconditionally joyous, eternal nature of Self!
