The Practice

Through physical postures, breath work and meditation practices, Blissful Awareness Yoga addresses all aspects of a person simultaneously; the physical, the emotional, the mental and the spiritual. It can be powerfully integrative and deeply transformative. It leaves you feeling like your natural and true Self.

​

In the early stages of a meditative yoga practice, there needs to be a teacher, facilitator, or guide who has a depth of experience and the skills necessary to guide people safely into their “centre” (Inner Being) and assist them in becoming established in that centre.

​

Later on, after the student is familiar with the journey into Source or Centre and after they become established in their practices, they will evolve from a good foundation.  Blissful Awareness practices embody the true intention of yoga practice which is self-awakening.  This is not easily found in the vast and confusing yoga marketplace of today. 

​

Many of the direct and in-depth teachings in this practice are drawn from the Kripalu Yoga and the Amrit Yoga traditions for which I will be forever grateful.  They have exposed me to the true depths of yoga.  I am also appreciative of the contributions of the Embodiment movement and pilates which have brought greater mindfulness and safety to the physical aspects of yoga.
