The term Yoga is a Sanskrit word with many different meanings. “Union” or “yoke” are common translations that reflect a main intent of Yoga: to enable its practitioners to unify or yoke their innermost being with its divine source.
In the western world what many call “Yoga” is typically a physical practice of postures and stretches designed to encourage strength and flexibility of the body; in addition, more western teachers are now addressing the ability of a Yoga practice to encourage strength and flexibility to the mind and the spirit.
A Yoga practice can greatly complement the practice of massage therapy. Good Yoga teachers can help us develop a greater sense of awareness of our bodies and can aid us in addressing our physical strengths and weaknesses. We encourage our clients to explore the world of Yoga through a group class or a private session.
Private and semi-private Yoga classes are available at Practical Massage Therapy or in your home or office. E-mail us or call 298-2845 for more information.

Amy has been teaching private and group yoga and meditation classes since 2003, while continuing to learn and grow as a student of yoga, herself. She keeps the focus on the exploration process and self acceptance making her classes affirming and fun.
Alexandra Smith
Alexandra began studying ballet as a child and after years of modern dance, a recommendation from a mentor brought the pilates technique into her life. Since then, she has enjoyed the many benefits; healing injuries, strengthening muscles and maintaining flexibility. What started as getting together with friends and working out, turned into a career adventure as she received her certification from Studio Lotus in Atlanta, GA. Alexandra preserves the integrity of Joseph Pilates' classical teaching method, which generates a harmonious rhythm between breath and movement for a total mind/body workout. She teaches a class that is suitable for all levles of difficulty by offering multiple exercise modifications to accommodate all body types.
