Find the unique approach that is right for you through classes or teacher trainings with me in beautiful Costa Rica. At Panacea, I bring to my classes a strong awareness of physical alignment, body mechanics, and energy work, over 30 years of experience in teaching different subjects and the practical application of them, along with over 30 years of my own yoga practice, and 149years of teaching y
oga. My style of teaching depends on who is present in my class. My mission is to make the healing and freedom that is promised through yoga available to all, regardless of age, condition, or level of experience. The path to getting there is different for each student. My classes typically begin with gentle movement paired with breath to warm up the body, then some sun salutations to build more inner fire. I utilize different techniques to open the lines of energy in sequences designed to balance strength and flexibility, gradually working from simpler to more complex postures. For those who need it, I can break postures into components so that they can work through progressions that are appropriate for them, while I can challenge advanced students to delve farther inward so that they can integrate their physical practice with the deeper work needed to unite with their spirit. My classes usually involve all six categories of postures, so that by the end of class, each student is ready to release the physical body in Savasana, opening for the focus and stillness required for pranayama and meditation. Students leave my classes having experienced the bliss and clarity this holistic approach brings. Some students just want a physical workout. Yet eventually, part of the student begins to crave more, perhaps to better handle a stressful life, perhaps to find a connection with their true Self, perhaps to learn how to access this pathway to lightness themselves and to share with others. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. If you are ready, Panacea and I await you.
