What People Have Said About Practicing with Adriana

 

Every class with Adriana offers me the opportunity to learn more, to go deeper, to more fully know myself and to commit more deeply to my practice and to my self-knowledge, in order to better serve my community and my own students, and to show up more authentically in my relationships with others.

— Claire Evans, Yoga Student + Yoga Teacher RYT 200

 

Adriana has truly helped me embody what it means to show grace for myself and others. Her warm energy is infectious and she lights up any room she walks in.

— Kiera Smalls, Meditation + Yoga Teacher, RYT-200

 

As a yoga practitioner ...You've taught me to remember to breathe, to be, to listen to myself without judgment, to reflect - to become better to bring goodness to the world. You've taught me to do what feels right in my body and not to worry about just "getting to the right pose." You've taught me that going slowly can be so meaningful on and off the mat.

— Elizabeth Zack, Kindergarden Teacher + RYT 200

in case you were wondering…

 

  • A short, sweet morning session with lite movement, good music, prānayama, and self-massage to light a little spark mid-week (i.e. when we might need it most). If early morning ain’t your time, know that recordings will be up by the next morning for you to get a little lit up on your own schedule.

  • a technique, a Goddess, and state of consciousness. fully supported by pillows in a comfortable supine position, the body is supported so that the physical self can find a state of deep rest. then awareness is guided in a particular way throughout the body so that the thinking mind can rest and you may have an experience of “awakened sleep”. it is also known as “yogic sleep”. it has many benefits for our bodies, minds, and nervous systems. here’s an article for more on the benefits.

  • the 4th limb of the 8 limb path of yoga. prānayama is the expansion of and engagement with the vital animating life force (prāna) through breathing techniques and practices. we engage with yogic breathing techniques that increase our well-being, self-awareness, and spiritual development. prānayama both connects us to our breath and affects our subtle bodies.

  • giving yourself a massage with yoga tune-up or tennis balls. also sometimes referred to as self-myofascial release, self-massage is a potent and empowering tool for managing stress and tension in the physical body. I took trainings in the Roll Model Method, you can look that up if you’re interested in more.
