• Mujō Yoga

    Change. Because you choose to.

    You and your body will change with time regardless. Through evidence-based yoga movement, breathing techniques, mindful meditation, and other therapeutic yoga tools, you can change with intention in the opposite direction of inevitability.

  • § DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

    Everything feels different.

    When you were younger, you could bounce off the floor, trees, linebackers, and concrete, shake it off, and move on with your life.

    But now?

    Your body doesn’t recover like it used to. Maybe an old injury causes new trouble. Parts of your body you weren’t even aware of before now hurt. Or, shoulder pain or back pain or hip pain or knee pain or foot pain has made you less active than you want to be.

    The longer you do nothing about it, the more unwanted change spirals.

  • § WHY LONGEVITY YOGA

    Who this is for.

    (And who this is not for.)

    If your goal is to bend your leg to get your foot behind your head, longevity yoga is not for you.

    If you want intense, sweaty workouts, with techno music in hot rooms or hot beaches, longevity yoga is not for you.

    Mujō longevity yoga is for anyone who wants to decelerate the ageing process.

    Mujō longevity yoga is for anyone who wants to feel more ease, more strength, more mobility, more energy, and more calm.

    Mujō longevity yoga is for anyone who wants greater physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

  • § MODALITIES INCLUDED IN MY CLASSES

    What does longevity yoga include?

    Gentle Hatha

    The stuff that most people think of when they think of yoga, except more gentle and safe than most people are used to. Hatha postures are classical static, physical postures that help unite the mind and breath with the body.

    Restorative Yoga

    Restorative yoga is a way to hold a yoga shape fully supported by props and without the body having to tighten, stretch, or collapse. Props don’t have to be fancy or an added expense; what you have on hand at home will do.

    Yin Yoga

    Create space in the connective tissue to boost lubricating fluids that sweeten joints and tissues and encourage fascia to remodel itself. Yin yoga looks like restorative yoga from the outside, but the more intense, long-held stretches allow us to practice patience and surrender.

    Self Myofascial Massage

    Use a variety of differently-sized, rubber massage therapy balls to traction fascia—the connective tissue encasing muscle—and loosen restrictions, knots, or scar tissue from old injuries. Freeing up fascia eases your ability to engage muscles and sense movement.

    Easeful Breathing

    Learning easy breathwork techniques to yoga pranayama, you can calm the nervous system and move the energy to where you need it in the body. If you feel your breathing is “stuck,” I’ll show you techniques to bring more ease and volume to your breath.

    Mindful Meditation

    “All yoga roads lead to meditation.” The busy monkey mind can be quiet, focused, or mindful through guided and self-guided meditation practice. Don’t worry if you find sitting in silence hard now. As with muscles, you can build your tolerance and capacity slowly.

    Brain Challenges

    Coordination, memory, vestibular, non-dominant challenges, and eye exercises sprinkled into the classes help with cognitive decline by keeping different parts of the brain engaged and continually rewiring.

    Yoga With A Chair

    Don’t be fooled: chair yoga does not mean “beginner level” or focusing only on upper body exercises. Using a chair as a large supportive prop, we can still strengthen, stretch, and coordinate the lower and upper body with safety.

    Relaxation

    Relaxation techinques including yoga nidra and non-sleep deep relaxation (NSDR). These help improve sleep, lower stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels, lower inflammation, reharmonise your mood, and rewire your brain.

    Inclusive Adaptations

    Options and variations for every posture are offered to empower all bodies in various stages of ageing, mobility, or health condition. Care and safety are always paramount, but so is individual choice.

  • § WHY I TEACH YOGA

    Mujō means “impermanence.”

    Everything I do with clients begins by embracing impermanence and adapting to change.

    You may not have choice about change itself happening, but you do have choice in which direction to change.

    You can change your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being for the better. You can improve your healthspan.

    Nothing is inevitable except change.
