Focusnyc Aliza M. Yoga
FocusNYC Aliza M. Yoga Aliza is a native New Yorker who spent much of her childhood on the bench keeping score. Until she discovered yoga, she was uncoordinated and always the last one picked. So she studied musical theatre and communications at Emerson College, and went on to work as a professional actor for many years. Fueled by competition but burned out from stress, Aliza sought out and discovered something more grounding in yoga. It was the physical practice of asana that originally enticed her, but it ultimately led to something much more satisfying – for her body, mind and spirit. She wanted to share these benefits with others in an accessible way and became a certified Yoga Instructor. Committed to serving all populations, Aliza’s yoga sessions range from dynamic and energetic to restorative and blissful. Her style is engaging and individualized to needs and preferences in all settings. Aliza has taught privately, in health clubs and spas, in corporate settings and even at the college level. Her areas of expertise include the history, philosophy, anatomy and physiology of yoga, as well as asana, pranayama and meditation, and working with special populations.

Books to Deepen Your Practice If You'd Like To
Books to Deepen Your Practice If you’d like to deepen your understanding of yoga, these are some of my favorite yoga books. Light On Yoga by B. K. S. Iyengar This is the classic book for yogis to deepen your practice. It’s very detailed, and has pictures throughout to help you see what’s being described. I’ll be honest, I got more out of this book after I’ve been practicing for awhile, but it has everything you could hope to learn in here! Every Body Yoga by Jessamyn Stanley A great book for inspiration if you aren’t a willowy yogi—or if you are! I love Jessamyn’s underlying philosophy of yoga: that it’s more important to tap into how you feel instead of how you look. You might also want to take a look at Yoga for Everyone: 50 Poses for Every Type of Body by Dianne Bondy. Yoga Anatomy by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews A wonderful book to see what muscles to engage in each pose. Leslie and Amy are true masters of anatomy and I highly recommend this book wherever you are in your yoga journey. Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith If you’re curious about chakras, this is a great (although long!) book with one of my favorite teachers, Anodea Judith. She’s dedicated her career as a yogi to showing how yoga engages our chakras and intersects with western thinking. Journey Into Power by Baron Baptiste If you’re interested in power yoga, this is a great book to learn the structure, and get a good mindset shake up.
