A yoga teacher does not just teach poses.
A yoga teacher expands capacity.

I did not just make them stand up from a squat.
I made them confront the quiet voice that says, “I can’t.”

Most adults lose the ability to rise from the floor without support by their 40s. Research even shows that the ability to sit and rise from the floor is linked to longevity. This is not a small thing. It is independence.

Come train with us and discover what your body has been capable of all along.

Makarāsana variation — face resting between the palms, elbows slowly walking forward.
This variation offers a deep release through the neck and shoulders while encouraging stillness and breath awareness. Perfect for stress relief after a long day at work.

Ardha Matsyendrasana and Gomukhasana done with Dharana (concentration)

Ardha Matsyendrasana with breath at the eyebrow center

Gomukhasana with gaze at the tip of the nose

Fixing the gaze at the tip of the nose is Nasikagra Drishti.

This is a classical drishti based concentration practice.

Many students are not ready to sit for formal meditation. The mind resists stillness.

By embedding these practices inside asana restlessness is reduced and concentration arises naturally

I intentionally weave these practices into class so students experience the depth of yoga without force or complexity.

What is traditional and authentic yoga?
This video explains exactly that.

Today we practiced Simhasana and then Simhagarjanasana.
We also learned Shambhavi Mudra.

These practices look simple.
Sometimes even a little funny.

But their impact on the body, breath, nervous system, and mind is profound.

Traditional yoga was never about looking a certain way or burning calories.
It was about working directly with your energy, your mind, and your inner state using precise tools that have been tested for centuries.

My vision for this studio is to bring that authentic yoga to the community.
Yoga that creates real change in health, emotional balance, relationships, and how you experience life itself.

When true yoga becomes part of your life, life changes.

This space is for those seekers who want to move beyond surface-level practice and understand the inner workings of the body, mind, and energy through disciplined practice.

This is not about trends.
This is about transformation.

And this ,my friends ,is traditional yoga.

Strength, mobility, rest, and awareness.

Backbends, folds, twists, and grounding poses done with purpose.

Yoga is not about looking flexible or doing advanced shapes.
It is about how you move, how you breathe, and how you respond when the body works and the mind resists.

The basics matter.
Proper effort.
Breath awareness.
Knowing when to hold and when to ease off.
Building strength without strain.
Creating stability before depth.

Every pose has a reason.
Every class is structured, not random.
The goal is not perfection, but a stronger body and a steadier mind.

This is how we practice at The M-Effect.
Clear. Grounded. Effective.

So proud of these teens for showing up with openness and willingness to explore these practices. I am grateful to the Menasha Club for inviting me to share this work and for supporting youth beyond academics. Excited to continue partnering in ways that help young people build lifelong inner skills.

Starting my power yoga class by briefly explaining how the session will flow.

This helps the mind settle before the body works. When students know what is coming, there is less mental resistance and better use of energy. The practice becomes focused instead of reactive.

A clear direction prevents scattered movement and unnecessary strain.

Simple structure leads to better practice.
