THE COURAGEOUS HEART METHOD™
A structure-based, results-driven approach to real transformation—physically, mentally, and energetically.
This isn’t a new style of yoga. It’s how I teach a time-tested one—so it truly supports you in practice and in life.
The Courageous Heart Method™ is a teaching methodology—not a trendy yoga brand or a signature sequence. It’s the framework I’ve developed over tens of thousands of hours of teaching real people, in real bodies, with real lives.
Rooted in traditional yoga, infused with modern science, and refined through over a decade of full-time teaching, this method bridges breath, alignment, and nervous system awareness to help you move in a way that’s both liberating and sustainable.
Why I Developed This Method
After years of working with of students—new, experienced, injured, strong, anxious, aging—I noticed something: the traditional tools of yoga still work. But only when taught with clarity, structure, and compassion.
This method was born from:
-
Thousands of hours of formal training and continuing education
-
A lifetime of personal practice and physical transformation
-
Tens of thousands of teaching hours with every body type, age, ability, and temperament you can imagine
It’s not about performative postures. It’s about powerful ones. It’s not about copying a script. It’s about understanding your body—and how it moves, heals, resists, and evolves.
What It Does
This method uses intentional, breath-driven movement to help you:
-
Break out of stuck physical patterns that contribute to pain, stiffness, and fatigue
-
Rewire the nervous system so your breath and mind work with you—not against you
-
Unlearn compensations that come from years (or decades) of imbalance, injury, or emotional holding
-
Build strength and freedom—in muscles, joints, breath, and self-awareness
What Practice Feels Like
Each class is sequenced with care—starting with breath and grounded movement to wake up the spine, lubricate the joints, and build awareness.
From there, we move through postures that challenge, strengthen, and release—without force, without rush, and always with options. You’ll engage your body fully, from the soles of your feet to the tips of your fingers, in movements that are both ancient and intelligent.
Every class includes:
-
Foundational poses (with meaningful options to deepen or pull back)
-
Breath-based strength building and mobility work
-
Full-body activation—so every joint and muscle feels both used and restored
-
Slow-down and integration through therapeutic postures and guided rest
You’ll leave feeling clear, grounded, and stronger in all the right ways—not just on the mat, but in your life.
Why It Matters
This practice isn’t about what you can do in class. It’s about how you carry what you’ve practiced into your day, your week, your years.
It’s about:
-
Moving through life—not just poses—with more awareness and less pain
-
Aging with strength and clarity instead of fear and avoidance
-
Reclaiming your breath, your posture, your presence, and your power
It’s about unlearning what’s no longer serving you. And choosing—through movement, through stillness, through practice—what will.
