SIYT WELCOMES YOU

 ABOUT SIYT

Yoga is a practice of inhabiting the body. It is a “bottom-up” approach that awakens sensation and awareness of feelings. It opens the door to feeling what you feel and through that, knowing what you know. Yoga is a movement inward where the attention shifts from the external to the internal landscape. It is a process of opening up to what the body is storing inside, creating space for parts of ourselves that may be closed or shut down. In its physical aspect, Yoga is the action of holding oppositional forces, moving through poses, and engaging muscle groups to invite energy flow to all parts of the body. It is a practice of yoking mind and body which offers both a physical and emotional experience of integration and embodiment.

​

The style of yoga offered through SIYT is called vinyasa.  This is a method of yoga which links breath with movement and establishes a continuous flow from one pose to the next.  A flowing sequence in coordination with breath allows the practice to become a meditative dance that supports deep somatic immersion.  Each session is designed to encourage supportive reflection, mindful presence, and the safety to listen inwardly.  Through creative sequencing, attention to detail in the pose, generous use of props and relatable theming, the participant leaves fully nourished physically and deeply attuned with tools that translate off the mat.
