Offerings

 

Yoga + Meditation

 

  • Join me for one of my classes in-person or livestream at Purusha Yoga in SF! You can expect a themed practice weaving together breathwork, postures, kriya, mudra, mantra and meditation to facilitate an energetic shift in the mental, physical, emotional and energetic systems of the body. This class is a moving meditation that creates a rich experience and brings balance to the body, mind, and soul. All levels welcome.

  • A consistent morning practice activates clear, focused and radiant energy to set the tone for your day. Incorporating breathwork techniques makes the meditative state much more accessible for most people.​ Privates and small group series are offered for new and experienced meditators.

Parenthood

  • Yoga can be of great support for the physical, emotional and spiritual journey into motherhood and parenthood, and into a deep connection with Self. Increase the comfort and fluidity in your rapidly changing pregnant body, which enables you to feel a greater sense of strength, vitality, grace, calm, confidence, and playfulness.

  • Sharing loving touch with your baby builds love, respect, and trust as you learn to calm, delight, attune to, and ease fussiness in your little one. Massage enhances well-being, brain development, immune and nervous system health, circulation, digestion, relaxation and sleep, and can relieve gas, constipation, colic and stress. And it's fun!
