Joseph’s yoga classes have changed my perspective on yoga, healing, alignment, breathwork, and my own body. As a physical therapist I was previously very focused on getting correct alignment and muscle activation during my yoga practice. I was doing yoga from my mind and working too hard to do it “right”. Joseph has taught me that I don’t need to try to do yoga “right”. Simply by doing yoga, I am doing it right. Through his breath centered practice, I have found that I have not only achieved more calm and peace both during and following my yoga practice, but I have also improved my posture, strength, and alignment. By following my breath and trusting my body’s own intuition, I have healed and strengthened my body. I no longer judge myself during my yoga practice, but can let go and allow my breath to guide me. This shift has also made yoga something I look forward to doing, rather than viewing it as something I should do or have to do. Thank you, Joseph!
