Aya’s yoga classes are therapeutic. She invites students to cultivate: Awareness. Kindness. Breath. Ease. Courage (the InnerYoga foundational principles). She provides tools to meet everyday challenges, and to cultivate intimacy with the self and the present moment. Her intention is to guide you home into your body temple, and develop a coherent nervous system.
