  • Anjali Power Yoga I Invigorating heated vinyasa I Lisa Horoff

    Lisa Horoff (she/her)

    TEACHER

    Lisa’s classes are based on freedom. She believes we are not stuck, we are free to move if we need to or be still when you want to. Free to find your fullest expression for that very moment. Move on ahead or stay with her. She is giving you the freedom to forget what you experienced in the past and stay with your body in this moment. The purpose of the pose is more important than the shape itself. The openness, the fire, the vitality! Live in the moment of all the magic within each part of JIP has to offer.

    Lisa offers assists to her yogis. She speaks to the body and alignment and intention. Everybody is different and no body should be forced into a shape that they do not feel good in. Lisa mainly sticks to JIP with a little flare here and there. She will play some music but it depends on the room. When it comes to slow flow, she focuses on meditation, mobility and movement then falls into long holds within yin.

    TEACHER

    Allison teachers our: Monday 4:30pm Slow Flow Community Class; Hour of Power in the summer

    Alison's classes, whether Hour of Power or Slow Flow, have ahimsa at their heart-- a foundation of self-love and compassion. They love to incorporate freedom and possibility in the form of innovative ways to use props, and opportunities for creating more heat or more restoration; this provides students with ways to customize their practice in each moment of class. Alison also focuses on breathwork both as a means to stay present and a way to stay connected. They frequently play sound bowls at the beginning or the end of class, and almost always use their clack fan to give students a refreshing extra breeze in savasana. As a poet, Alison also encourages students to consider the ways that words create their world, and the power of listening to the body as a source of wisdom. With a strong focus on community, you can expect to leave Alison's classes feeling restored and grounded in yourself and in the community around you.
