Why the Name Change?

  While I am quite thankful for my years of learning and teaching the in the Iyengar yoga tradition, my journey from teaching one discipline exclusively to what I teach today has been fruitful for me in a variety of ways. There were far too many questions that needed answering and over the years I have enjoyed researching and learning from teachers that approach similar questions from different perspectives, bodies, and scientific knowledge. There is not one body, one problem, nor just one answer.

 There are many reasons for what I teach today and I will not be expressing that complex answer fully here and now. I do want to officially state that I am re-branding myself on purpose. These changes have occurred over much time and deliberation. I will go into more detail over the next year, and will post those essays on my other blog. (I typically use this blog for class announcements, cancellations, and general information.)

 Here is a link to my other blog with more detailed information on what I teach today: What Do I Teach Essay

As I get older I find it very important for my thoughts, my actions, and my words to be aligned. Sometimes I carry a question with me for several years, looking at it from different perspectives before I carry out the answer in my own life. Change takes time.

My classes are about teaching healthy range-of-motion in the joints, alignment cues, and how to strengthen the muscles efficiently. It doesn't look like a "traditional" yoga class because it isn't. (I will discuss more in detail later.) 

We humans are complex creatures. I hope you too look at subjects from different perspectives. Change is the only constant. It's what we do with that change that matters.
