What is Subtle Yoga?

Subtle Yoga is a transformative, therapeutic and balancing practice with postures that are accessible to most people and adaptable to most abilities. Subtle Yoga is powerful, but it’s not dangerous. It is a bridge between traditional ashram yoga and today’s fitness-based yoga.

Rooted in the yoga tradition, Subtle Yoga can take you to the deeper more contemplative dimensions of yoga. Subtle Yoga helps you understand how you learn about yoga and yourself, so that you can then use those skills to actualize your life and accomplish your goals.

Why Subtle Yoga?

Beyond the Pretzel – Subtle Yoga is therapeutic and balancing

Subtle Yoga postures are accessible to most people, adaptable to most abilities, and help you:

  • Improve circulation, flexibility and mobility
  • Establish better body mechanics to prevent injuries
  • Correct maladaptive movement patterns that cause bad posture, discomfort or pain
  • Balance your physical and mental energy levels to improve overall health
  • Release emotionally-charged holding patterns lodged in the physical body
  • Enhance emotional well being, which in turn improves your physical health

Personal Transformation – Subtle Yoga helps you become:

  • Less stressed out, calmer and more peaceful
  • Less depressed, tense and/or anxious
  • More in touch with your inner Self – body, mind and spirit
  • Better connected to your Spiritual Source
  • More aware of your life’s purpose (and offers strategies to fulfill it)

Rooted in the Yoga Tradition – Subtle Yoga will also take you beyond asanas to explore the deeper, more contemplative dimensions of yoga including:

  • Breathwork for improving health and cultivating relaxation
  • Meditation for centering and peace of mind – and to help you connect to your deepest Self and your life’s purpose
  • Philosophy including the 8 limbs of yoga to help you move towards the ultimate goal of yoga: enlightenment and Oneness

Subtle Yoga helps you understand how you learn about yoga and yourself, so that you can then use that skill to actualize your life and accomplish your goals.
