The Ancients developed systems of personal practice designed to help individuals develop and optimize their potential and protect and maintain their health and well-being throughout life.

In our time together we will explore how the tools of Yoga practice, including āsana, prāṇāyāma, mantra-japa, and meditation (svādhyāya, saṅkalpa, and manasa pūjā) can be adapted to support our anatomical, physiological, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being throughout our life cycle.

Sessions will focus on:
● the principles and practice of adapted, breath-centric āsana in order to maintain strength and mobility throughout our lifetime and as we age, including joint protection, maintaining balance, and maintaining a strong lower back, and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders.

● the principles and practice of adapted, breath-centric āsana and prāṇāyāma in order to maintain optimal physiological functioning throughout our lifetime and as we age, including how to manage stress how to stimulate and optimize immune function.

● the principles and practice of adapted, breath-centric āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, including svādhyāya and saṅkalpa, to help us maintain emotional balance and mental clarity throughout our lifetime, and as we age including identifying and releasing attachments to things that are not serving us and cultivating a sense of purpose that can guide our choices as we move forward into our future.

● the principles and practice of adapted, breath-centric āsana, prāṇāyāma, meditation, mantra-japa, and manasa pūjā to help us nourish our “spiritual hearts” throughout our lifetime and as we age including finding joy and happiness in the present moment, and a sense of deeper meaning in the face of the inevitable end of life.

Throughout our sessions together, there will be time for presentations, discussions, Q&A, and practices.
