Thoughts from Bill: During the past 20 years that I have traveled around this sun, I have studied yoga & meditation as my primary physical and spiritual fitness practice. Since the year 2001, I have been fortunate to make my living sharing what I have learned and how I understand the practice so far. In April, 2003, I opened the doors to Jai Shanti Yoga, the yoga studio that I have been stewarding and evolving in
confusion as welll For me, this path is an exciting journey towards understanding myself and standing under the potentials we humans possess for learning to express love and compassion. My classes are sometimes unconventional, and are always offered with an intention of love and spiritual growth.
What & Why I teach: Yoga philosophy teaches us that everything in the universe is made of two things: energy and consciousness. In my classes, I strive to give participants the opportunity to experience a deep and evolving, conscious connection with their own Life Force energy. We’ll explore the nature of breathing and how you can use breath to enhance daily living. While we are breathing, we’ll use different body postures and movements to awaken energy flow in your body to learn the richness of subtlety and compassion. My goal for teaching is to inspire in my students a self-curiosity to learn to see and then move beyond stuck-areas of thinking, emotional processing, and physical challenges. We are all capable of living a life “Fully Alive” to manifest our highest potentials. Yoga is a powerful tool for creating change
I teach yoga as a practice for Every Body that comes into the room. I enjoy working with students representing all shapes and abilities. Whether you are in perfect health, or working with physical challenges and dis-ease, yoga can offer you something to enhance your health and improve your quality of life. Our bodies are a reflecting expressions of our thoughts and our experiences. Through the practice of yoga and body therapies like Thai Yoga Therapy, we can learn how to process and release physical, emotional and spiritual injuries and scars. We can also change the course of our lives and effect the evolution of our health, our physical shape and our evolution as spiritual beings. Thanks for letting me share my experience with you.
