Duration: 33 min 35 s

Dear Yogi's -- think you have mastered Sun Salutation A? As a certified Yoga Teacher I have seen many a yogi with misalignment when doing Sun Salutations. 

In this 30 minute lesson I breakdown each of the 7 postures in Sun Salutation A (Mountain, Forward Fold, Half Lift, Plank, Chatarunga, Upward Dog and Downward Dog) and teach you how to do each posture correctly. I also teach you how to modify each of the postures. 

At the end of the lesson we do 4 rounds of Sun Salutations and end with a short meditation lying on your back in Savasana.

I focus on alignment making sure you are moving in and out of postures correctly as well as while you are in the posture. This prevents injury and will allow you to get the most benefit from the practice.

I also teach pranayama (breath work), philosphy (Niyamas, Yamas, etc.), meditation and inward focus.

Cindy is a great teacher who takes the time to really get to know her student. She determine's what the student is trying to accomplish with the training so that she can adapt the training to fit the student.

I highly recommend Cindy as an instructor. Her knowledge, patience, positivity, feedback, and teaching style were exactly what I was looking for. Trying something new can be intimidating and she made me feel comfortable right from the start.

I've taken my initial three lessons with Cindy and have been very impressed. She's shown me some dynamic stretching techniques that were new to me, and has explained everything very clearly. I'm already seeing some clear improvement in the range of motion in my shoulders, although stretching gains generally take a while to see. Will definitely be taking more lessons!

i loved it. loved the excercises and the teacher. she is good and very patient. great experience.

Cindy is an excellent teacher - warm, clear and takes you through step by step and at your own pace. I can highly recommend lessons with her.

Hi I had a wonderful first class with Cindy. She was very clear explaining and very patient. It was an excellent class.

Loved this first lesson! Cindy explains things so clearly and is so friendly!

I would strongly recommend Cindy. She is an outstanding teacher and a privilege to study under.

Can't imagine any teacher better  or more generous at  helping a student to refine moves and integrating healing breathwork from chi gong.

in one word: transformative. A transformative teacher who teaches a transformative practice that you can really internalize.

writing this review as 2020 closes and the only thing to say is where would we have been without this course and without Cindy? well, because of it and her, we're moving toward 2021. thank you Cindy!!

there couldn't be anyone better--a tailored made expert experience to fit each person's needs

Fantastic ability to understand movements small and large in the student, remotely!!

In this 70 minute practice you will explore and experience a true authentic Hatha yoga practice. This means that we hold our postures for extended periods of time, practice quieting both our body as well as our mind. A traditional Hatha yoga practice - like this one - includes pranayama breath work and meditation at the end of the practice.

This 75 minute yoga class is for intermediate yogi's.  It is a flow class which means we are moving from one pose to another syncing with the breath. It is an overall body workout. The class begins with a short reading about being in the present moment and invites you to practice this while on the mat. The class ends with Nadi Sadhana breath technique which calms the body and mind.
