His gentle and restorative sequences are simply structured and always adapted to the individual’s specific needs, leaving room for the student to continually explore and expand their personal practice. He believes that the practice of yoga provides an environment for each student’s mind to determine which things are important, beneficial, and good for both the body and for the soul. His style embodies a holistic approach to the practice, incorporating Yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, as well as mantra.
