Restorative yoga has been proven to mitigate stress, encourage energetic balance, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Each New Moon cycle, Lilah will guide you through rituals including a practice of yoga asana, meditation, reflection, and time for journaling. She will incorporate crystals and teach you how you may continue with your ritual through the month at home and on your own.
The New Moon Ceremony Series will take place for each New Moon throughout the year of 2022. Please bring a yoga mat and a journal. We hope you will join us.

Her continuing education is immersed in a number of specialized areas, including Western & Yogic Anatomy, Injury Prevention, Stress-relief, Mantra chanting, and Tantric philosophy, as she studies with the likes of Leslie Kaminoff, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Donna Farhi, Rod Stryker, and Dr. Douglas Brooks.

Viniyoga is a traditional lineage of yoga that adapts the practice of yoga to the unique conditions, needs and interests of each individual student. By using dynamic movement, repetition-and-stay and breath-centric asana, each class will offer adaptations in both asana and breath to allow the students to individualize their experience for their own transformation. Props are not needed, but are useful.
