FAQ

  • What style of yoga will be taught?

    With roots in Ashtanga Yoga and Baptiste Yoga, Sasha's classes are fiery yet grounding. Her hope in life is to improve the lives of those open and willing to roll out the mat and discover the magic of the practice and what’s within them. Yoga can be utilized as a tool to not only calm the body and mind, but also to alleviate symptoms of illness, in the physical and emotional bodies.

    Ashtanga emphasizes the connection between breath and movement, and can be a great way to build strength, flexibility, and mental focus.

    Baptiste Yoga is linked together by connective momentum and consists of five classical pillars: Drishti (gaze), Ujjayi (breath), Bandhas (foundation), Tapas (heat) and Vinyasa (flow).

  • What style of meditation will be taught?

    Emma’s teaching focuses on breath and body awareness. Her foundation is influenced by Vipassana, but is secular and neutral for everyone. Her approach integrates self-compassion and mindfulness techniques to help you feel empowered and aligned with your true self.

    There will be guided sessions geared toward release and relaxation, as well as sessions with more silence to invite in more self awareness.

    Most sessions will include journaling to support the integration and understanding of your experience.

    Vipassana is a mindfulness practice to observe your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. The goal is to see things as they are, rather than how you want them to be.
