Pranayama (Breath practice)

​

Rowena offers 30-min 1:1 and 60-min 1:2 studio pranayama lessons tailored to your needs. Prana is more than oxygen and breath, it is the flow of energy through the body. When our pranic flow becomes restricted or unbalanced, due to fulfilling our householder duties off the mat, it becomes difficult for us to practice higher levels of yoga, such as meditation. It can also make it difficult to practice preparatory levels of yoga, such as yoga asana, or even manage stressful events off the mat. Under stress, restricted breath reduces oxygen available to our cells, causing pain and dysfunction. Rebalancing our energetic body, strengthening and mobilizing the diaphragm, and leveraging full oxygen capacity allows us to tap into homeostasis and the parasympathetic nervous system on the path to equanimity, wellness, and ultimately dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (enlightenment). In yoga, there are several pranayama practices that can be utilized to balance the mind-body system. In these private sessions, Rowena will teach you the practices that support your life's work and responsibilities off the mat, week-for-week.

Dhyana (Meditation practice)

​​​​

Rowena offers 30-min 1:1 and 60-min 1:2 studio dhyana lessons. Learning how to sit still and "just meditate" for 2, 5, 10, or 20 minutes can be challenging. Here, Rowena will teach you traditional and modern paths to meditation so that you can practice them at home and develop a your unique meditation practice. Lessons include coaching on when, where, and how to prepare practice. What is meditation? How do we know when we are meditating? Working directly with a teacher can help you answer these questions on the path of yoga as a way of life.

Yoga Mentorship and Applied Yoga

Mentorship is for teachers or students who would like to develop equanimity and nourishment in their lives or relationships through the lens of yoga philosophy with hands-on, action-based practice (kriya yoga).
