What Yoga Hikers are saying: "The whole experience was so uplifting. The beautiful natural setting and the different practices that you wove into the walk were a magical blend. It was like a dance with our bodies, spirits and nature. I'll never forget seeing that white owl. Then, to top it all off, I loved the peaceful relaxation in your studio. I can't say enough except thank you again." Jan Juengling, Yoga Hiker "I’m a city girl who had never done yoga without a mat, much less outdoors, and I really didn't know what to expect. Following Domonick through the redwoods was so peaceful, as he dropped pearls of Eastern wisdom on us like flower petals and gently guided our meditative hike. Some butterflies joined our practice, and I got so swept away into a Snow White state of zen that I couldn’t stop smiling. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, I looked skyward on one of our final poses, a backbend, to see a rainbow overhead. All that fresh air and good energy was pure yoga bliss, and a great hands-on lesson in how yoga can reconnect us to our bodies, our minds, and the beauty of the world around us. Domonick is a very special teacher, and this class is a very special treat!" Suzan Revah, Yoga Hiker "I found Domonick’s instruction to be sensitive, supportive and clear. I particularly liked the challenge of yoga practice “in situ” because natural settings are so inspirational, and getting out of the box (of a gym or a room) adds so much to the experience. I hike a lot anyway, so the experience of a yoga practice in nature seems a natural expression of that joy. It was difficult at first trying to find footing in nature, but I became more adept at this as we progressed. The end result is that my own appreciation of nature and yoga have become enhanced." Amy Chung, Yoga Hiker There’s nothing like doing tree pose while looking at a stand of gorgeous redwoods rooting themselves on a lush, steep hillside. The trees, mountains, sun and fog take on new meaning in the context of Domonick’s Yoga Hikes, as we use logs for back-bending supports, tree stumps for stretching our legs, Mt. Diablo for inspiring our own mountain poses, and the trails in the Regional Redwood Forest for our monkey walks. Domonick blends in breathing and posture flows from many different traditions, and integrates the yoga and hiking into the spectacular natural setting. During our classes, I come to experience the forest and yoga in new and unexpected ways. Asanas which are tedious in a conventional class, become more fun under Domonick’s wise and humorous guidance. Shavasana in Domonick’s indoor studio is a lovely way to end each class; after our time outdoors, we get to journey inwards in order to integrate the rich sensory experience each class provides us."

| Why Private Yoga Instruction? Every body is unique. The downside to group class is that some postures may be inappropriate for you, increasing the risk of injury. With private instruction, your practice is tailored to your ability. Further, when you encountering blocks or problems in group class, you do not have time to explore the block in order to start to work through it. Private instruction allows such time, in addition to access to individualized advice on how to address the block. Private sessions can be done in your workplace, home or at my home in Oakland. |
