Offerings
Cedar aims to empower you to embrace your journey of healing and
awakening greater self awareness
through the somatic modalities of yoga, qigong, pranayama,
and Aletheia Breathwork.
Cedar's trauma-informed approach to teaching encourages a "coming back home to ourselves". Through an attitude of self-acceptance and kindness, we cultivate respect and intimacy with our own being exactly as we are in this moment, and develop
our capacity for inner listening, embodiment, curiosity and presence.
The capacity for joy and contentment, healing and wholeness lie within each of us. Wherever you are on the journey, is the perfect place to begin. Re-aquantance with your body & heart may begin through yoga, movement and breath awareness. Aletheia breathwork can facilitate a deeper uncovering of what may be holding you back, through somatic and emotional release and over time re-train the body how to breathe the way nature intended - fully & freely.
It is my honour and joy to support you on your journey home to yourself. ~ Cedar
"There is a way of breathing that is
a shame and a suffocation.
And there is another kind of breath.
A Love Breath,
that opens you
infinitely.
~Rumi
"I promise you that plumbing the depths of your being is an unparalleled adventure. I wish you well on the journey." ~Ram Dass"
"Feelings come and go like
clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing
is my anchor." ~Thich Nat Hanh

"DevaDaru":
"Devadaru" is a compound word from the Sanskrit language that translates as "divine wood", or more commonly an evergreen tree, and hence also, Cedar. I find the woods profoundly healing, so I was inspired to use this name as a way to convey my intention to share the potential of yoga to heal us on the deepest level. With a committed practice and study of yoga, we engage a path that restores us to our true nature, which is already and always whole and complete.
