Body Heart & Soul Yoga
Yoga means “union” and involves
bringing all aspects of ourselves together for a greater sense of health
and wholeness. As we engage with postures, breath and sound we soften
and release emotional blocks, healing on all levels. Yoga is an
invitation to feel more deeply and live life more fully, awakening to
inner essence and spirit.
Connecting with the energy body and releasing emotional blockages allows
one to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is gentle and
yet powerful in the results.
Elisabeth’s teaching is an eclectic style of hatha yoga that involves
using breath, sound, meditation, yoga postures and bodyrolling
techniques. She has a gentle and loving approach, incorporating
intuition, dedication, passion and joy into her teaching.
