"A Spa Day For My Soul. I booked a "Water Element" private yoga session with Jolie and it was worth every penny! The yoga poses
were tailored to my specific needs and she even had an essential oil custom blended just for me. The guided meditation was beautiful
and we finished with singing bowls. Truly a wonderful experience!" ~ Sany B.
If you think of people in seemingly impossible and weirdly twisted poses when you think of "Yoga", then you may have an inkling of what yoga is, just an inkling that's it. Yoga is much more than those poses. Derived from the Sankrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate", yoga is a 5000 year old Indian body of knowledge. Yoga is all about harmonizing the body with the mind and breath through the means of various breathing techniques (pranayama), yoga postures (asanas), and meditation.
We all know that yoga does a body (and a mind) good. But up until recently, no one could really say with any degree of certainty why, or even how it seems to magically improve conditions as varied as depression and anxiety, diabetes, chronic pain, and even epilepsy. Now a group of researchers at Boston University School of Medicine believe they’ve discovered yoga’s secret. In an article published in the May 2012 issue of Medical Hypotheses journal under an impossibly long title, Chris Streeter, PhD, and his team hypothesize that yoga works by regulating the nervous system. And how does it do that? By increasing vagal tone, the body’s ability to successfully respond to stress.
A minimum of three sessions is recommended but even one will be transformative and life changing. Short check in coaching sessions are available as well to support your journey.
YOGA SESSIONS
~ PRIVATE YOGA SESSION-Your yoga style choice infused with Thai Massage and hands on adjustments, technique, and alignment work in Restorative, Yin, Hatha, Kundalini, Ashtanga, or Yoga Therapy.
~ RESTORATIVE YOGA-This session is designed to calm the nervous system and induce the relaxation response. The focus is on relaxing and opening the body in restful postures with the use of soft props. This is not sleep, but deep rest that provides the body an opportunity to renew and to heal. Numerous studies have proven the physical and emotional benefits of triggering the parasympathetic nervous system. This is beneficial for a strong immune response, lowered heart rate and blood pressure and balancing the body’s response system.
~ YIN YOGA-With bolsters, aromatherapy, and sound healing. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body. Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. We will hold the postures as we turn our attention toward our inner landscape, learning to live in our bodies in a wholesome way. As we surrender into the postures we are able come to stillness not only in our bodies but also in our thoughts. Through this stillness we will investigate our true selves and come to a place of acceptance. The practice is deeply relaxing enabling us to go inward towards a place of compassion for ourselves, for others and for all beings. This practice is suitable for all ages and for pregnancy as well. This practice can be quite intense not only physically but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
~ HATHA YOGA-Hatha yoga is a perfect time to come into the body and discover what lies within. In this particular offering, the student will be assisted into the proper alignment of the posture, yet being mindful of any limitations that are preexisting or arise within the moment. This is a great way to start the day or finish it.
~ VINYASA FLOW-This class integrates alignment of posture, attention to breathing and transitions between postures, and deep release of connective tissues. Jolie will guide you from one pose to another in a flowing sequence of yoga postures while pausing to hold and work on alignment and deep body awareness. This allows you to ease safely through the postures while maintaining a deep awareness of the breath and the self. This class works with precision and care while incorporating the movement and heat building and a therapeutic focus. Through flowing practice, heat is naturally and safely created within the body to warm, soothe, heal and strengthen the student from the inside out.
~ KUNDALINI YOGA- Kundalini Yoga is the science to unite the finite with the infinite, and it is the art to experience Infinity in the finite. Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. Awaken the energy of consciousness, shed light on self-imposed limitations and develop your intuitive mind. The Kriyas and meditations of Kundalini yoga are specifically designed to generate energy and increase awareness. This practice begins and ends with mantra and has warm up exercises to prepare for the Kriya, a series of postures, breath, and sound that work toward a specific outcome. Practicing Kriyas initiates a sequence of physical and mental changes that affect the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously.
~ ASHTANGA YOGA- This is a hatha-based meditative practice that unites movement with breath, aimed at purification of the mind and body. Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the source of most Vinyasa, power and flow style yogas popular in the West today. The Mysore style allows students to practice a set series of postures at their own pace, while being supervised and adjusted by a teacher. If you are ready to move beyond the physical, this is a great next step beyond guided Vinyasa classes.
~ YOGA THERAPY-True healing occurs when we bring all levels of a person’s being into balance. Move beyond illness and discomfort to live life to your fullest expression. Heal and rebalance your physical body, energy, mind and emotions. Transform and release stress, anxiety and tension.

The healing journey is unique to each individual, therefore practices are tailored specifically for your needs to facilitate optimal health and wellness. This compassionate and gentle approach is good for all levels and issues including: Neck, Back, Shoulders, Insomnia, Headaches, Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Hormonal
~ YOGA NIDRA-Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra has the power to transform you at your core. All you do is lie down and listen. During this ancient tantric meditation, Jolie will systematically guide you through each layer of being to relax and heal at every level including the physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra is a step by step step guided meditation that leads you deeply into your own being. You are asked only to become aware of body, breath, thoughts and feelings without needing to change or fix anything. There is nothing to do but notice which is true meditation. Healing music and nature imagery are included in the journey. 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra is said to be equivalent to 3 hours of sleep. By inducing the relaxation response, the body’s healing state, Divine Sleep turns the healing switch on in the nervous system, allowing you the necessary time the body needs to heal, prevent illness, and also to fall and stay sleep. Divine Sleep helps to retrain your nervous system to relax on its own and it can be used to put you to sleep by listening in bed. The main benefits of regularly practicing Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra are improved sleep, health, happiness, and integration of all the parts of oneself. It provides deep rest and liberation from stress, helps prevent illness and to renew organs, increases health, happiness, and outlook, improves memory, concentration, creativity, intuition, and spontaneity, helps develop compassion, clarity, trust, and peace. It has been used to treat insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and more.
