Private Zenyasa®
Instruction
with Jason Brown, MA, RYT, LMT
"Yoga ia a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who you are."
— Erich Schiffmann
The Zenyasa® Method
Zenyasa® is a mindfulness-based movement and meditation practice that includes slow-flow yoga, functional strength and flexibility training, and a variety of introspective techniques that collectively cultivate serenity, resilience, and greater Self-awareness. The practice is accessible with step-by-step verbal cues to help foster sound alignment and optimal effectiveness within each of the postures. All classes begin and end the same way, but also include a unique theme inspired by the energetic nature associated with the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire).
Learning
One-on-One
In 1x1 sessions, each practice is informed by your unique needs, goals and energy level, all of which changes from week to week. There are opportunities within each class to pause and ask questions, with less of an agenda to "get all the way through a sequence." There is also more a more personal exchange between teacher and student. As time goes on it will become more clear what your strengths and weaknesses are so that we can hone in on developing the areas that need work.
Develop Your Practice
Another reason you might seek private instruction is that you want guidance around developing your own personal practice. There will always be something special about doing a self-guided daily practice on your own mat, where you can move to the rhythm of your own breath, work as hard or soft as your then-present energy desires, stop and start, change directions, listen to and receive guidance from your own inner voice. It's wonderful, and I can help you develop a personal practice that you can call your own.

"Zenyasa is the most wonderful yoga experience we have ever had - and we've tried many! Jason's idea is that yoga is a mindful, healthful and athletic discipline. Attending one of his 90 minute classes provides the yoga student an uplifting, joyful and freeing feeling - deeply felt in the entire body and brain. "
