Dharmashakti

TRY combines supported gentle and restorative yoga postures, breathwork, guided imagery and energic touch to support the body's ability to manage pain, encourage healing, and provide comfort through illness or injury.

For thousands of years, Yoga has been a method to find health and well-being. Ancient yogis first practiced yoga to sit easefully for hours while staring at the end of their noses contemplating bliss. To develop the physical stamina for this effort, more and more postures were added to help the body become even more flexible and able to sit longer and with more ease. In the west, the idea of sitting easefully has given way to athleticism and now yoga is a bonafide fitness craze with aims that far exceed the notions of those fellows on grass mats 2,000 years ago. Unfortunately, it also means a yoga culture that often leaves no space for those with physical limitations. Many of whom have bodies that really need the benefits of a regular yoga practice.

TRY brings yoga principles back to basics - creating a more easeful body, regardless of ability. Whether managing stress and seeking rest and relaxation, or managing pain or chronic illness and hoping for comfort and restoration, TRY can offer the health and well-being benefits of a yoga practice without requiring the athleticism of more traditional practices.
