Hello, we are a center for integrating yoga, and Thai structural bodywork. Satva Yoga's Thai structural bodywork combines the best of deep tissue with the best of Thai massage. We take a holistic approach to yoga and bodywork. Our mission in yoga is to teach students how to practice by them selves. Our focus is on alignment, working with feeling and under standing. In yoga and bodywork the main objective is balance.
Working with correct body alignment and breath, we can achieve this. Freddy has been a body worker for more than 30 years and practicing yoga for 38 years. Our classes are small, so everyone gets our full attention. Our training's are very informal. The learning experience should be joyful in order to bring out our full potential.
One of the aims of the yoga training is to begin working on ourselves. Increase body awareness, and ultimately heal ourselves. in order to be good body workers we must balance our own stuff. physically, emotionally and spiritually. When our channels are open, we will have the ability to help others.
“ To be happy in life we must serve others” quote from the Dalai Lama.
At Satva we teach a blend of YOGA - THAI MASSAGE- STRUCTURAL DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE. One of the main objectives of both Yoga and Bodywork is to create Balance, Phycically, Energetically, Emotionally, Intellectually and Blissfully. We also believe that it’s important to develop an individualized yoga practice. One that is specific to your own personal needs.
We can teach you to gain more understanding of yoga Asana. How to perform them correctly, and what it may or may not be good for. Gain knowledge, understanding, and confidence in yourself and in life. We must learn to work on ourselves, and grow. Than we will be in a better position to help others.
One of the things Yoga and Bodywork have in common in that we must find our blocks or imbalances, and than clear them. Through the correct practice of Yoga and Bodywork we become balanced in life. This is our goal. But it cannot be done for you. Come to Satva Yoga and Bodywork.
Begin the journey. Through the practice of Yoga and Pranayama (breathing techniques), we gain more body awareness and sensitivity. This is why it is an amazing way of reaching your full potential in everything that you do. Become more in-tune with your sense of touch, tune- in to your intuitive side. Learn to feel and work from the heart!!!.

Yoga With Props
The
usages of yoga props started back in 1937 when Bellur Krishnamachar
Sundararaja Iyengar (B.K.S. Iyengar) began to teach yoga with props.
Iyengar was born with influenza pandemic (Spanish Flu) leaving him
sickly and weak.
Iyengar's father died when he was 9 years old, and he
continued to suffer from a variety of maladies in childhood, including
malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and general malnutrition. When
Iyengar turned 15 he went to live with Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya in
Mysore, which is where Iyengar began to learn asana practice with the
usage of props. This improved his health and helped him overcame his
childhood weaknesses.
Yoga props are used:

To hang upside down and improve blood circulation for all organs.
-
For deep stretching, and optimal spinal posture.
