Yoga with Talia P.

I am a yoga instructor and an ex-circus performer. I trained strength, flexibility and aerial arts and performed with a professional circus from the age of 8. As I got older, I started teaching circus arts to both children and adults. My body hurt, though, from years of rough use and the performance lifestyle. I took up Yoga in 2010 and fell in love immediately! I found that it relieved the pain of old injuries and forced me to even out my body after a life time of asymmetric use in performances. Despite my strength and flexibility from years of circus arts, Yoga managed to find small, stabilizing muscles that I had been neglecting. I have never felt stronger or healthier in my body than I do now! The emotional side of Yoga was what I didn’t expect. At first, it brought up a lot of unresolved emotions as I was forced to sit quietly with myself and confront the tension held in my body. Over time I have begun to work through those physical and emotional barriers, and have even been able to find words for them. As a result, I find myself to be happier in general and to suffer from less anxiety. This amazing practice has had so many benefits for me and my clients, and I want nothing more than to share it with the world! No matter what your age or physical capabilities, you have so much to gain from connecting with your body and your breath. I can’t wait to practice with you!
