Tom has been influenced by many Master teachers in the yoga world; he primarily teaches Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga, based in concepts of Taoist Yoga, emphasizes the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. It is characterized by the relaxed practice of floor asanas for three to five minutes at a time. Yin yoga postures gently stretch and rehabilitate the connective tissues that form our joints, allowing us to maintain and restore joint flexibility. Yin Yoga also focuses on the balancing of the Energy Pathways (meridians), and the Energy Centers known as Chakras.

I look forward to helping you on your journey to health and happiness.
