challenges in their lives, that meaning anything on the spectrum from chronically tight hamstrings, to insomnia, to a tragic personal loss. By taking the first step, that being grounding oneself and slowing oneself down, Deep Roots Yoga encourages participants to sink into themselves, quiet their mind, find their rhythm and scan their body, mind and emotions to sense where areas of tension, stress or conflict reside.

 After taking the time to anchor oneself and unplug from the noise of daily life, Deep Roots Yoga sessions explore the positive use of energy in the forms of: breath, releasing movements and mental focus (meditation) to reduce tension, stress and other hurdles people face in their lives. By exploring the depth of connection between breath and movement, as well as our nervous system and our body, yoga postures are elevated into meaningful experiences that strengthen the mind-body connection. Deep Roots Yoga sessions encourage participants to explore movements from the inside-out.

The word yoga means ‘union’.  After grounding oneself, exploring one's needs and releasing unwanted tension, Deep Roots Yoga strives to have participants feel connected to themselves, their purpose and the power they possess to make any necessary changes in their lives. Changes, whether it be in the form of altering postural habits, thinking more positively, or assessing the overwhelming schedule they have created for themselves, to gain a deeper sense of wellness and personal contentment. Yoga has been proven on numerous occasions to be healing in medical circles.

ourselves, but also the natural environment around us.
