yin-ergetics

After 11 years as a yoga instructor and therapist, I designed Yin-Ergetics, a yoga class that blends the modalities I was using in a classroom and private setting.  I use the Yin style of Yoga, my healing voice, Reiki touch, and sequence the Yin Postures with Somatic Movements to assist students in deep physical release as well as mental and emotional calmness.  The Yin postures offer the body an opportunity to receive connective tissue stretching, increasing mobility in the joints, and work great with chronic stiffness, or injuries. The healing nature of my voice and healing touch bring a uniqueness to this class.  Students report after class that the holding patterns of tension in the body mind stay away longer than a typical yoga class.

This class is truly appropriate for all ages and ability levels.

I have had great success in offering this practice as a tool for the benefit of physical, mental and emotional well-being.

I began working with Lisa Jansen after my doctor suggested that I try yoga to help alleviate the chronic stiffness and tightness in my right leg that had resulted from a trauma suffered almost fourteen years ago.I have used therapeutic massage and acupuncture during the past decade to cope with the pain and discomfort from my leg but the sessions with Lisa have begun to correct the underlying issues that have been causing the problems. Lisa has been utilizing a combination of Thai Yoga and Yin Yoga to start the process of unlocking the muscles that have been misaligned. After only two months the improvement in the flexibility and range of motion in my right leg has been remarkable. The deep stretching regimen has helped to open up the joints and re-pattern the muscles in my leg so that they are slowly approaching their natural position. I have a lot of years of "locked up" joints and muscles to overcome but based on my progress so far I am confident that by continuing the healing process with Lisa and incorporating her gentle approach I will be able achieve my goal of pain free movement.
