What is Soft Tissue Yoga?

 
 
Have you been practicing yoga for a while and struggling with comfortably findng your way with an asana or two, or more?

Are there areas of your body that, no matter how many times your instructor tells you how you should be moving it or stretching it or relaxing it, you just can't seem to improve your communication to those body parts?

Are you generally strong enough and flexible in a lot of places, but not making headway despite these two attributes?


Are there postures (or classes of postures) that you avoid because you find it painful to practice them?

Are you finding that you need something different than or in addition to the usual sun salutation practice?

Are you feeling complacent in your practice and want to add more space, more awareness, more depth and more insight?

Are you a yoga teacher who wants to explore some different ways to help expand your student's capabilities?

If you answered yes, to even one of these questions, you may find the Soft Tissue Approach to your yoga practice brings a wonderful shift and a deeper awareness.

Soft Tissue Approach to Yoga provides pretty straight forward and immediate results. It is yoga that feels like you have had a massage. It is yoga with props that are just a bit out of the ordinary, or used in a slightly unexpected way. Soft Tissue Yoga is an approach that will teach you how to feel your way into a pose. It will help you to become more intimately aware of your body and what holds it back or pushes it forward. Soft Tissue Approach to Yoga is an approach that will help you to link your mind with your body and allow your breath to expand to its full potential.

Bold statements, but if you are looking for a different yoga class experience, this just may be the complement to your favorite vinyasa or Iyengar class. As an adjunct to your regular practice, this approach can help you to gain greater body awareness and to use that awareness in your personal practice.


   ... always an attitude of play

Sometimes focused on movement; sometimes focused on breath;
sometimes just relishing the edge to feel how
the mind and the breath can be mastered there.


Always with the intention to remove the struggle, to find the ease in the movement;
always relaxing the tension by finding the impulse that triggers it;
always coming into a state of yoga through awareness and
mastery of the mind/the thought.


 

An approach that
will take you  

into the present
moment.








Releasing old, embedded
patterns
brings a smile
to your face!







Leaving pain behind,
new movement
patterns
