Hridaya Yoga & Meditation:
For Deep Connection & Emotional Balance

This service is offered as private sessions and can be incorporated into our psychotherapeutic treatment plan depending on your needs.

 

Hridaya is an immersion into your real and essential nature through an artful integration of meditation and yoga techniques. This powerful practice offers more than just physical movement or relaxation— it is a tool for deep transformation, emotional healing, and self-discovery. Whether you are seeking relief from stress, a way to reconnect with your body, or a deeper spiritual practice, heart-centred yoga and meditation provide an integrative approach that nurtures both the body and mind.

Who is Hridaya Yoga For?

My yoga and meditation offerings are designed for individuals looking to:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system.

  • Develop emotional resilience through breathwork and mindfulness practices.

  • Heal from trauma by reconnecting with the body in a safe and supportive way.

  • Enhance self-awareness and inner clarity through stillness and movement.

  • Cultivate a deeper spiritual connection by exploring the heart’s wisdom.

  • Improve overall well-being with gentle, meditative practices that restore balance.

If you feel disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by daily life, or simply searching for a deeper sense of peace, yoga and meditation can provide a path to healing and self-understanding.

My Approach to Hridaya Yoga & Meditation


I teach Hridaya Yoga, a heart-centred approach that integrates traditional yogic postures (asanas) with deep meditation and self-inquiry. This practice is rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, blending elements of Advaita Vedanta, Tantra, and contemplative traditions from various wisdom teachings. The practice of Hridaya Yoga allows us to live in the very “core” of existence, to feel the heartbeat of every moment of life, to know intuitively the eternal dimension of every moment. 

Hridaya is a practice that allows you to fall in love with your body and to develop a deeper relationship with yourself.
Hridaya Yoga: Moving with Awareness & Presence

In Hridaya we hold traditional yoga asanas (poses) for a longer time, encouraging deep relaxation which allows tension to be released, the mind to calm, and the body to open to the free flow of energy.

  • Gentle, intentional postures held for longer periods to encourage deep relaxation.

  • Breath awareness techniques to enhance emotional regulation and nervous system balance.

  • Stillness practices that allow for a deepening connection with the inner self.

  • A focus on the heart center, cultivating a sense of peace and openness.

This style of yoga is ideal for those looking to cultivate inner stillness, emotional balance, and a more mindful approach to life.

Meditation & Self-Inquiry: Awakening to the Present Moment

Meditation is at the core of all my teachings. Whether you are new to meditation or have an existing practice, my classes provide a supportive environment to explore mindfulness, breath awareness, and self-inquiry.

  • Silent sitting meditation to develop clarity and inner peace.

  • Guided meditations to help navigate emotions and deepen self-awareness.

  • Breathwork and relaxation techniques to promote healing and reduce stress.

  • Self-inquiry practices to explore the nature of consciousness and self.

These practices help you develop a sense of inner stillness, self-compassion, and deep awareness, supporting both emotional and spiritual growth.
