About Shiva Yoga

My personal practice is based in the Ashtanga Yoga method. I have been dedicated to a daily, five days a-week practice for over 15years. Ashtanga literally means eight limbs and is defined by the sacred yogic text, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-purification and study), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense control), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (total peace). I decided to become a Yoga teacher to help others to become fit and to lead healthier lifestyle & re- discover themselves by deepening their yoga practice. Individually, I always felt love and a desire to serve, but at times I felt lost in the vastness of everything that was evolving. Yoga put the reigns in my hands, igniting a power that was always present, creating a way to connect those ever fluctuating pieces; a way to tell, feel, and a way to align.​​​​ With yoga, I saw and felt how I was already connected. Without knowing it, I had been contributing all along. This was a powerful and life changing moment. I’m passionate about yoga and living a holistic lifestyle. I want to share and pass on the sense fullness and entirety it provides. I am grateful and thankful for all the support I’ve had and still have from my students, friends, family, and the community! People need people. Namaste.
