People often repeat patterns of behavior living in circles rather than creating forward movement, feeling limited by daily routines, and experiencing life through habit rather than through choice. With a greater awareness of the power of our own intuition we may begin to take control of each moment that leaves us feeling stagnant. My objective in teaching Yoga is to simply be a guide, a source of direction and inspiration, while leaving space for students to find the direction toward their own inner teacher.
