Asilo Yoga is the name of Asila’s style. Asilo - sanctuary & yoga - meditation. Her intention is to offer a sanctuary in which to meditate within an asana practice. Asila’s journey into yoga began in 1995 with VHS tapes of Bryan Kest. While going through a difficult time In 2007, she attended her first yoga class at a studio, which left her feeling empowered & would change her life. That point is one that she intends to hold close as she begins each class - the potential the practice has to deeply impact a person. She began teaching in 2008 & has led over 10,000 classes. Workshops & a teacher training with Bryan Kest has always been a reminder that the yoga (meditation) is primary and the asana (pose) is secondary. Yoga is the quality of mind doing anything. Since we're all beautifully unique, the practice of yoga should embody that. Students are encouraged to make the practice deeply personal. Yoga is not a practice of quantity, but rather a practice of quality of touch. Giving from her heart & soul, with a sense of humor, & an absolute love for sharing the multi-faceted practice of yoga is what Asila intends to bring to each class. All classes are approachable for everyone... “just do it all to your personal degree.” Every class is a beginner’s class, because each time we’re a little different for that Self Care Session. It’s subtle but is there and that’s really the practice... to “dial-in” to the very subtle level of things and work with “what is” in that unique moment.
