Join me for weekly drop-in sessions at three fabulous San Jose area studios.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

  • YOGA TUNE UP: This is one of the few YTU classes available in Silicon Valley. This class incorporates modern posture / movement strategies, ball rolling and self massage, and deep relaxation to help students identify any “issues in their tissues” and learn targeted strategies to tune up their yoga practice. Very much like a mini workshop, this class is designed for all levels to come, learn, explore and enjoy.

  • VINYASA: These classes are my most challenging option on the schedule. While I stick to a “traditional vinyasa” backbone, I often riff into the world of functional movement, ball rolling and strength & conditioning basics to ensure people can develop a safe and smart practice.

  • GENTLE VINYASA: Great for newbies, those who want a mellow movement practice and those who want to move towards a regular Vinyasa class in the future. Come prepared to learn how to move with the breath and then enjoy some grounded, relaxing restorative options at the end.

  • FLOW & ROLL: If you like Yoga Tune Up, you might like this class as well. In the beginning, we warm the body through a combo of sun salutations and targeted postures, and then we spend 30-40 minutes exploring strategically aligned self massage experiences using the therapy balls.

Safe and proper alignment...

I didn't think I could do it...

“Thank you for the class today. I walked in thinking I was too injured to get anything out of it. But your permission to take it one step at a time and your focus on alignment helped me safely maintain my edge. I feel great.”

— Taylor P.

“I’ve hated pretty much every yoga class I’ve ever been to. I liked your class.”

Just what I needed...

“The class was great, but what was better was that you said just what I needed to hear. I've had a tough time lately and I feel like you were speaking just to me.”

It’s been a week. In more than one class I’ve had students disrupt savasana for one reason or another. And I don’t mean quietly sneaking out before hand - ha ha - I mean stomping out, cells going off, listening to music on cell phones, slamming doors and clanking straps around so they were ready to leave ASAP once the class was over. In these moments I try to soften the part of me that wants deeply to protect the quiet and vulnerable space of everyone else’s meditation. I coach myself to take a deep breath and offer compassion to those who might not realize the energy they put into the room. I realize not everyone understands savasana, not everyone is ready for the pose and not everyone can stay for it. But where I struggle is when these people take away the opportunity for other students to have a safe and relaxing savasana. So instead of hemming and hawing about it - I wrote a post about it on my blog. I’m sure different teachers and students will have varying opinions - but if your new to yoga, bring your phone in the room or leave early - then this post is worth a quick read 😬 ****** Highlights: 1. Cell Phones: Ditch em unless you have a medical reason - and yes, we can also tell when you are texting on your smart watch - cut that shit out too please. 2. Leaving early: it happens. Leave before meditation please. 3. Leaving during meditation: Avoid this if you can. If you can’t - leave your props and exit quickly & quietly ... for the rest and alternate things to do if you don’t like savasana please read the post at: alyssayoga.com/blog . . . I also welcome comments and feedback from anyone else in the community. . . . #yoga #yogateacher #savasana #meditation #yogaclass #yogaetiquette

A very poorly captured 4th of july from an instagram pov - a very satisfying weekend from an experience pov. Those who know me well know a good New England Lobster with butter is the way to my heart, combine that with family outings at #gilroygardens #martinranchwinery #thetech #bodyworldsdecoded #ceaserchavespark #408creates and #sanpedromarket and I’d say this is a weekend for the books (I’d also say my feet are sore AF). #4thofjuly #family
‘ “MAKE YOURSELF A LIGHT” said the Buddha, Before he died. I think of this every morning as the east begins to tear off its many clouds of darkness, to send up the first signal - a white fan streaked with pink and violet, even green. An old man, he lay down between two sala trees, and he might have said anything, knowing it was his final hour. The light burns upward, it thickens and settles over the fields. Around him the villagers gathered and stretched forward to listen. Even before the sun itself hangs, detached, in the blue air, I am touched everywhere by its ocean of yellow waves. No doubt he thought of everything that had happened in his difficult life. and then I feel the sun itself as it blazes over the hills, like a million flowers on fire— clearly I’m not needed, yet i feel myself turning into something of inexplicable value. slowly, beneath the branches, he raised his head. He looked into the faces of the frightened crowd.” - #maryoliver #devotions These remarkable humans finished 200 hours of teacher training with @willowglenyoga and are certified to bring their gifts into the world. The past months have been hard and beautiful in the same breath. I’m still crying over the power, beauty and individuality held in their final presentations yesterday. Make yourself a light my friends, this world needs you. I will always have your back. @freedancer2 - #luminous @sarahpiramoon - #easy nicole - #colorful ariana - #brilliant roberta - #resilient aaron - #wise / #wisdom To Kent Bond, the master behind @willowglenyoga - deepest bow, longest hug and goofiest laugh. You are the genuine article my friend and the baddest of bad asses. I am so honored to work with you. #yoga #yogateachertraining #200hourteachertraining #humble #dowhatyoulove #bethelight
