Do you wake up in discomfort, feeling pain or dis-ease? Does your back hurt or your neck ache? Do you struggle to get comfortable in a chair, do you fatigue while standing, is sleeping a struggle? It could be because you're stuck in a karmic rut.

Your habitual posturing could be creating imbalances that affect more than your body. The consistent movements and ways in which you use your body could be resulting in damage.
This introductory workshop will help you to know your body better and provide insight into how your habits are causing harm. You'll learn techniques for improving your posture and shifting the way you move throughout the day.

Matsya (Fish in Sanskrit) was the first Avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism.
It is said that, during the Satya Yuga, the people on earth had become irreligious and disorderly in the way they lived their lives. This is when the Gods collectively decided to flood the earth.
The fish (an avatar of Vishnu) instructed Satyavrata (manu) to build an ark to take “all medicinal herbs, all the varieties of seeds, and accompanied by the seven saints” along with the serpent Vasuki and other animals.
As the time of the flood approached, Manu’s ark was complete. As the flood swept over the land, Manu asked Vishnu why mankind had to meet such a deadly fate to which Matsya (Vishnu) told Manu that he was the only moral man alive, and that he would be the father of the future generations of human being.
Sound familiar?
Matsyasana is more than an asana. It's an opportunity to remind yourself of your ability to protect, connect and be a moral human.
Practice this asana with an intention of embodying Satyavrata.

When you book a private session you can bring anyone you want to the practice. Babies and grandparents are welcome. Brothers and sisters can join. We'll adjust the practice so everyone can participate. Celebrate, come together and reconnect through the practice of yoga.

We offer private sessions in our studio and on-site all year long.

This photo shows more than someone practicing virabhdrakasana on ice. It shows that mindful focus is required to remain steady. It captures the patience necessary to remain in the position. It's a moment of ease, balance and harmony. We can't see what vinyasakrama came before or after.

What we can see is a moment in a consistent and dedicated practice.
Sankalpa and sadhana; intention and practice, develop awareness, balance and harmony. Stick with it and practice yoga everywhere.
