Fascia is the physical structure that holds us together. Literally. It keeps our bones upright, our organs in place and supports the pathway of the nerves. A dedicated yoga practice involves moving layer by layer through the connective tissues. We practice asana and somatic movements (SATYA) that enhance the flow of nerve and blood through the fascia. We dedicate this practice to releasing the connective tissues in the hip, sacrum and low back.
A gifted orator, Tias brings metaphor and imagination to his classes. He weaves together poetic language, embodied wisdom and subtle body awareness in all his classes.
Tias synthesizes years of study in classical yoga, Sanskrit, Buddhist studies, somatic practices and anatomy in his dynamic and original style. He began studying Iyengar Yoga in 1984 and lived in Mysore, India in 1989 studying Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Pattabhi Jois. His teaching includes precision of alignment, anatomical detail and meditative awareness. He is the founder of SATYA, Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga, a somatic practice that complements yoga.
