The style presented is best described as Hatha with a focus on gentle and vinyasa flow (level 1-3). The standard class sequence of warm up, sun salutations, balance series , warrior series, floor poses, backbends, inversions, final twist and svasana will be stressed.
Also included:
Includes asanas, pranayamas, kriyas, chanting, mantra, meditation and other traditional yoga techniques, principles of demonstration, observation, assisting and correcting, business aspects of teaching yoga. Includes both human physical anatomy and physiology (bodily systems, organs, etc.) and energy anatomy and physiology (chakras, nadis, etc.). Includes both the study of the subject and application of its principles to yoga practice (benefits, contraindications, healthy movement patterns, etc). the study of yoga philosophies, yoga lifestyle and ethics for yoga teachers.
The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon". Thus, Hatha Yoga is known as the branch of Yoga that unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. Hatha Yoga tries to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or Asanas, Breathing techniques Pranayama, and Meditation.

Stephanie Pafford:As a practitioner of yoga my life has been transformed. I truly believe that you can’t practice yoga without having a change regardless in what shape or form it is transforming, can be magical, and a blessing for some. The first time I stepped on a mat I felt like I was home and something stirred inside of me and the journey began. I have experienced a love for myself that was non-existent before yoga and acceptance of all things regardless if perceived as good or bad I am present and whole. I come from a background where athletics have always been in my life so I started my journey as a Personal Trainer and trained extensively with back issues, as this was a particular issue for me before yoga, active older adults, core and stability issues and worked with teens. I had this false belief that yoga was “easy” so not for me, boy was I wrong. Through “asana” (postures) I was moved to become an instructor and received my 200 Hour teacher training certification and 100 Hour restorative training. I have explored the deeper aspects of yoga with meditation, such a challenge for me, and pranayama. I have done workshops with many, including but not limited to, Roger Cole, Desiree Raumbaugh, Saul David Ray, and Sharath Jois. I am an E-RYT with Yoga Alliance, an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Egoscue Pain, Posture & Performance trained, Completion of Nutrition for Professional. I am the director of Akasha Yoga Studio in La Jolla, California. I welcome all into class and trainings and encourage you to go above and beyond any expectations and limitations.
Alison Scola:It was the gift of chronic back and neck pain that brought Alison to her yoga practice 14 years ago. After the first class she knew she had found a powerful tool to return her body to its natural state of health. As her practice unfolded, she also found that her body would provide a road map to emotional, energetic, and spiritual healing as well.Inspired to share yoga with others and a desire to go deeper in her own practice, Alison completed her 200hr certification in 2006 at the acclaimed White Lotus Foundation with Ganga White and Tracey Rich. Following her passion to share the healing qualities of yoga with others, Alison has gone on to pursue her Professional Yoga Therapy certificate from Integrative Yoga Therapy with Joseph & Lillian Le Page and received her 500hr certificate in April of 2009.Over the past six years, Alison has seen the world as she has taught internationally as a professional swing dance instructor. In need of a more rooted lifestyle, she is excited to shift her focus toward offering dynamic yoga classes and working with individuals in a therapeutic capacity. Her perspective on yoga as a holistic experience inspires her to teach awareness of the physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual elements in her classes. She views yoga as a way of life that connects us with our innate inner wisdom and endless capacity for compassion and self-love.
