Welcome to The Yoga Collective
Yoga is not to be performed; it is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; it cares about the person you are becoming.-Aadil Palkhivala
Yoga Is For Everyone
Yoga is a holistic practice that can benefit you in many aspects of your life. Engaging in a regular yoga practice promotes both physical and mental health. Yoga is not intended to be an outward experience (e.g., the yoga poses); rather, it’s an inward exploration. Through awareness and mindful practice, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and improve your well-being.
We are The Yoga Collective. Offering a safe, supporting, accessible, and nurturing community for all ages and fitness levels. We offer a variety of yoga styles, tai chi/qigong, and unique experiences through special workshops and events.
We are so glad you are here. See you on the mat!
In Light and Love,
Seena, Avery, and Jennifer
This Month’s Featured Instructor
Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor
Sifu G
Sifu G is the newest instructor at the Yoga Collective and brings his years of experience teaching Tai Chi & Qigong.
As a disabled combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps (Iraq 2003), Sifu G fortunately discovered Tai Chi & Qigong at the peak of his Gulf War Illness. While working as a Professorial Research Fellow for a University in Hong Kong, he found a local group of Tai Chi practitioners who welcomed him into their Kung Fu family and discovered the impact this training has had on managing his symptoms. He trained under an International Wushu Gold Medalist and competition judge for 3 years and maintains active relationships and connections in Hong Kong. Almost 10 years later, he now serves as an educator of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the Department of Veteran Affairs and shares his experience and training in Tai Chi & Qigong locally. From traditional 3,000-year-old classic Qigong sets to the most prominent fist/fan/sword Tai Chi forms practiced across the world, Sifu seeks to bring Eastern medicine, philosophy, and way of life to the West by cultivating a lifetime journey towards health & wellness.
