Yoga is an extraordinary science of self-development and self-realization aimed at cultivating our fullest potential for well being within our many-faceted lives. First developed in ancient India thousands of years ago, the profound wisdom and benefits of this practice have been passed down through generations of dedicated teachers and students all over the world. Yoga is both a philosophy and a physical practice integrated in order to bring about deep harmony and balance to our body, mind and spirit. Although many yogic lineages exist, such as Core Power Yoga, Bikram’s Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, and many others, our methodology takes from many lineages to blend a unique style that is strong yet gentle, and adaptable to the needs of the diverse client population we serve. The methods of yoga, such as physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation offer each of us the opportunity to awaken an inherent capacity for feeling fully alive in our bodies, open in our minds, generous in our hearts and vibrant in our spirits.

Forward bends are calming and soothing, encouraging introspection. They nourish the digestive and reproductive systems and relax the adrenals.

Backbends are energizing and uplifting as they unfold and open the body, and encourage extroversion. They nourish the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems and balance the thymus, adrenal and thyroid glands.

Sidebends are energizing and aligning. They nourish the circulatory and respiratory systems and open up more space for the breath.

Inversions are restorative and soothing. They nourish the circulatory system and remove strain from the body and mind. In addition, they balance the pineal, pituitary and thyroid glands.

Twists are cleansing, detoxifying and integrating as they balance introversion and extroversion, right and left sides of the body and brain, logic and intuition. They nourish the digestive system and balance the adrenal, gonad and thyroid glands.

Yoga at Boulder Bodyworks includes poetic imagery and philosophical insight that help guide students to a deeper level of experience and understanding in their bodies. Ahimsa, a Sanskrit term defined as non-violence or the opposite of hostility, is often explored in classes asking each student to practice without aggression and to cultivate compassion for their bodies, the circumstances of their lives and their own unique journey of transformation.

Private Sessions
Currently, we offer one-on-one private yoga sessions and we recommend this unique instruction for individuals looking to deepen their existing practice. Therapeutic private yoga sessions are recommended for individuals recovering from injuries, dealing with chronic pain, structural misalignment or any other specific need. Private sessions are interactive and collaborative through which self-care programs are mindfully designed to help students continue their practice at home. Yoga therapy can sometimes be a covered benefit with healthcare plans. Please contact Boulder Bodyworks for more information about private sessions and booking availability.
