Om Shakti Yoga
About
Om Shakti Yoga is A home-based yoga, health, and fitness experience.
The practice of yoga has so many physical, mental, & emotional benefits. I wanted to share this practice in a home-based setting where beginners of yoga, or advanced practitioners can understand how yoga can be incorporated as a lifestyle.
I wanted to create a place where people do not worry about being perfect; where individuals want to be part of community and not feel like a customer; a place where people want to stand on their feet more than their hands; and mostly a place where all can develop their minds and intellects, as well as their bodies. The fact that that yoga can be practiced by anyone, young or old, men or women, flexible or not makes it wonderful to teach! I know for a fact, that most every practice leaves an individual feeling relaxed, energized, and happy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Students will be eased into the practice with different exercises and postures that will benefit them. Students will learn the meaning of yoga, and how it not just a practice on the mat, but a day to day lifestyle practice. They will experience simple breathing exercises that will help them deepen their practice, as well brief meditations to quieten the mind for a fulfilling practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a teacher by profession, I enjoy working with students, and helping them to reach their potentials. Instilling the idea of mindfulness is a very important concept to help children develop focus & concentration. I began using techniques of yoga & meditation in my classrooms which seemed to be enjoyed and well received by children. I realized how wonderful it felt to share the benefits & philosophy of yoga to different age groups.
