About a year ago, I experienced an incredible dream; a dream that made it extremely evident to me that my purpose was to be teaching yoga to others. During this time, I was in Vietnam, traveling with my partner, and our next destination was to be India. It seemed fitting that I spend my three months in India completely committed and dedicated to learning, mastering, and realizing the beautiful pow
er of yoga. I spent a month living in an ashram in Haridwar, near the river Ganges, studying yoga every moment of the day. My own understanding of the depths of yoga shifted, and I realized that yoga is not merely a form of exercise, but rather a highly disciplined lifestyle that involves much more than just the asanas (poses). Several months later, I returned to India to upgrade my teaching skills to the 500hr level - and my passion and commitment to Yoga only grew. Yoga is your natural state. It was there that Bent Tree Yoga was born – out of an intense desire to share the gifts of yoga, the healing power of pranayama and the stilling peace of meditation. Bent Tree Yoga was created from a place of truly loving what yoga has to teach us and wanting to share that wisdom with each other. Yoga as a therapy has numerous health and mental benefits that can substantially improve or heal ailments which is knowledge that everyone should have access to if they feel compelled. Bent Tree Yoga wants to offer you the ability of learning to heal yourself, while being open to healing from others through Reiki and other healing modalities as we grow.
