”Y O G A is the Journey . .
O F the Self;
T O the Self,
T H R O U G H the Self.”
“Anahata” is a Sanskrit word meaning unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten. It is also the Fourth of our Seven Chakras. The Heart Chakra. Anahata is quite literally, the heartbeat of my business as my goal is to help you heal, to “unhurt” anywhere that hurts. Whether that be physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. To bring you to a place of balance, calmness, serenity, joy and unconditional love. All of which are experiences that are associated with the balanced Heart Chakra and incidentally, all deeply woven into the principles of Yoga.
The Anahata Chakra is the source of deep and profound truths that cannot be expressed using words. Through Yoga, including: Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathwork) Meditation, Reiki, Somatic therapies, and grounding exercises, we will customize a unique plan to gently and safely bring you to your truth.
Reiki has been apart of my life since I was a young girl. My mother is a Reiki master and has taught me everything I know about our 7 energy channels, Chakras. What they represent. How they become either blocked and stagnant or overactive and staticky. The symptoms that come along with these imbalances, and how Reiki can help clear the path within our systems to initiate healing and harmony within the body and mind.
Reiki is an ancient healing technique that means “Universal life force energy”. I have been attuned as a level 2 practitioner. Reiki is known to reduce body pain, balance emotions, ease anxiety and stress, help process grief and trauma, improve sleep, mental clarity and overall confidence. Ultimately, I am merely the conduit for Reiki to awaken your body's own, natural healing potential. It is a powerful gift to us that we are able to access this source, one that I want to share with the world any chance I get.
Now, Yoga. I began my journey through Yoga having a pretty solid idea of its benefits on the mental, physical and spiritual well being of a person. What I didn’t know is that the principles and sacred traditions of Yoga, beyond asana, would move me so deeply that it would transform my life. Each time we step onto our mats, with proper guidance and education, the divine nature of our true essence becomes more and more prevalent.
I experienced my biggest shifts during my 200hr Intensive Yoga Teacher Training in Guatemala on Lake Atitlan. Being immersed in a culture where Yoga, Mantra, Satsang, Kirtan, and sipping cacao around a fire was just a standard, beautiful day for us at the lake. This was normal. This felt right deep inside of my soul. The way we live in today's society, in much of the United States, is not a natural way for humans to be. All the hustle and the burnout, rushing around to make it to all the events and outings you said yes to when you really wanted to say no. All the distractions and disconnect. The many walls between us and nature. With noise that can become so loud you can’t hear your own truest intent. That’s where Yoga comes in. It’s that intimate, quiet time to travel inward and be reminded of who you are and your purpose here. To reconnect and realign. To nurture and nourish. It encourages you to look inside to heal your life and come back to your nature. To come back home..to you.
This is what it has done for me and countless other people throughout history. It would be an honor to guide you in building your relationship with yourself, mending the wounds; both inner and outer, strengthening the mind/body connection and restoring your life. Through discovering the 8 limbs of Yoga and experiencing the healing powers of Reiki, my mission is to help you reclaim the power that has been inside of you all along, patiently waiting for the veil to be lifted.

Why Private Yoga?
| Yoga is a deeply personal experience |
Firstly, on a physical level, we can begin to focus on any troubled areas. Nurturing your aches and pains, strengthening and gently relieving tightness within the body. These are all often some initial reasons why many start a Yoga journey. To begin healing and prevent further injury, honing in on these areas one on one is crucial.
Yoga is a deeply personal experience and a lot can come up in a session. What we are doing together is energy manipulation through Yoga. It is not unusual to cry during or after a session as your body releases what it needs to. You will be free and safe to take your time and let go.
All of my practices are infused with Reiki unless you ask for them not to be. Frequently, I will incorporate significant crystals, essential oils and even a scalp massage for Third Eye and Crown Chakra decongestion. Regardless, Asana alone is an extremely wonderful tool for Chakra cleansing and in bringing what no longer serves us to the surface and out. Doing this privately, is essential to it being uniquely YOUR practice. You can't customize a flow to solely fit your needs in a studio Yoga class. The need for a deeper connection to yourself; body, mind and soul, can only be met by an intimate deep dive. This is Yoga! It is intimacy and connection to yourself. A beautiful and sacred experience. It's the story of your life through a moving meditation. A devoted time for you to dance in the space between your humanity and your divinity.
