EMYoga is a synthesis of yoga and Energy Medicine. The power of this style of yoga is that it greatly increases the benefits of a regular yoga practice without increasing the time devoted to it. Incorporating simple techniques into an existing practice, or doing these simple techniques on their own, helps to balance the nine energy systems of the body. When in balance, these energy systems help to keep you strong, vital, healthy and focused. They work on your immune system, endocrine system and lymphatic systems especially. Additionally we work with focus on breath for releasing pain and stuck energy as well as learning techniques to change your habit fields, helping to foster the ability to implement new, positive habits for overall health and well being.

You do not have to have prior yoga experience to take this class. This class is suitable for beginners through teachers of yoga.
The process of moving into and out of yoga postures is a dynamic spectrum. There are a multitude of possibilities for sensation and awareness before, during and after the "finished" pose. The apex of a pose is simply a line on a graph, neither more nor less important than what comes before or after. Often the mind is fixed on an concept (in this case a finished pose) that is in the future, therefore, understanding and insight in the present become impossible. It is from this place that the ideas of "can't / my body won't move that way" come up, or conversely, an over inflated sense of self and achievement with the perception of "understanding" or having "mastered" the pose.
This workshop will look at and refine the multitude of dynamic changes that happen while moving in and out of postures. By engaging with deeper listening inside of dynamic changes, unconscious habits have a chance to be observed and changed. In this process consciousness in the present is amplified, listening to small changes, refining, improving and continually evolving.
