After eight years of teaching yoga, so much has evolved in both my practice and my teaching. The core yoga principles have integrated themselves into my body and my life in such a way, that I feel stronger, healthier, and happier each year. I am in awe and humbled by this practice, and I do my best every day to share it’s power with my students. My classes are creative, challenging, sweat provoking, moving meditations, with a deep connection to all aspects of yoga including concentration, meditation, breath control, and the experience of ultimate bliss. Jai Jai!

Class Description

Jai Yoga is a mix of Ashtanga and Jiva Mukti Yoga with some dance mixed in. These are challenging vinyasa flow classes linking postures and precise breath direction together in a seamless creative sequence. I emphasize the beauty of finding mental ease and clarity during in the most challenging postures. Students learn to focus on their breath, to gain access to their greatest source of power, a clear and calm mental state, and a reconnection to their natural joyful selves that brought them to the dance floor in the first place.

Witold Fitz-Simon

Witold was drawn to yoga in the early 1990’s as part of a fitness regime, but quickly fell in love with the practice for its own sake. He has been teaching since 2000. Witold’s anatomical approach creates a challenging practice providing the student with a calm and confidence that can be applied equally to fitness, healing and personal development.

Class Descrition

Each class is centered around a theme that incorporates anatomical precision and dynamic movement principles with the aim to provide strength, coordination and freedom for the student’s body, breath and mind. Intelligent and effective sequencing allows the student to progress according to their needs, creating both a healing and challenging practice. Iyengar yoga was created by living yoga master B. K. S Iyengar as a safe and systematic technique of alignment and progression to develop each student’s ability and skill. Instructors are highly trained to use precise language and demonstration skills to guide students through sequencing that develops strength, flexibility, stamina, concentration and body alignment.
