Awakening Yoga is a progressive Yoga system rooted in Hatha Vinyasa with an emphasis on ritual & self inquiry.

 

We pay homage to the traditional nature of the Yoga practice with a practical and functional approach to asana built for today's bodies and minds. This practice encourages personal exploration, potentiality, and freedom of movement from both the teacher and student.
