Yoga is a tool for freedom from conditioned patterns. It offers a powerful handbook for liberating both the mind and body, helping you overcome unwanted habits. Through this practice, you gain a deeper understanding of the steps that lead to a more present, conscious state, what the Yoga Sutras call purusha, or pure consciousness.
Yoga invites you to unwind the patterns that no longer serve you, creating space for your true self to shine. It’s a practice that not only aligns the body but also clears the mind, offering a fresh perspective on life and what lies beyond. And while yoga retreats are a wonderful way to create space to reconnect with your conscious self, the upcoming Fall ECO Yoga Retreat is already fully booked. Not to worry though! There’s always the Spring and Fall Retreats in 2026 to look forward to. In the meantime, practice the discipline of yoga to sharpen your discernment and allow your inner light to shine brighter each day.
It would be an honor to support you on a journey of transformation— whether through private yoga therapy, group online classes, or workshops, designed to help you write the next chapter of your life.
Namaste 🙏
