HATHA YOGA

I have studied and taught hatha yoga since 1974, and have learned from many wonderful teachers in the U.S. and in India. I regard hatha yoga practice as "prayer with the body", as a purification of body and mind that leads to Self-Realization. My intention for myself and my students is to "go deeper" and experience our essential and radiant nature, to live in yogic union with our Divine Self, our Source.

Upon meeting Kaliji in 1992, I felt that I had encountered in her teachings of TriYoga®, an authentic form of Hatha Yoga. Kaliji's approach to yoga integrates asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control) and mental focus. This trinity practice is meditative, and promotes deep relaxation & inner peace. The practice can be as gentle or as challenging as desired, resulting in physical, mental, and spiritual benefit as prana (life energy) flows & transforms the practitioner. Much gratitude to Kaliji; Jaya Guru Devi!

Each class is a unique experience. Classes begin with a brief discourse on a particular aspect of yoga followed by sanskrit chanting which contributes to mental focus. This is a prelude to the breathing practices, postures, and posture flows. A guided deep relaxation (yoganidra), a guided meditation, and a closing chant conclude the class.
