Where Can You Find Us
We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to offer you diversity in your yoga practice through movement, breath and meditation. Founder of MEY, Tameko Kezama started this movement to help bring awareness to all bodies, "when we come together to share energies and build community, we connect on a level of oneness".
We are part of the community and share in practice and offerings throughout the city. It is important to check the schedule and our facebook page for events, sessions and specialty offerings.
Why yoga?
Live UR best life...
The foundation of (our) business combines the physical with the inner emotional and spiritual journey. By integrating body, breath, movement, and meditative awareness, we promote awareness of the inter-dependency of all these aspects in personal health and well-being. We use our extensive training and in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche to teach and cultivate awareness of one’s own practice and life process.
Sharing in yoga is more than just moving, it is a full body-soul experience. We also participate in workshops, special (healing) events such as cacao ceremonies, essential oils, Reiki, seasonal, moon offerings and sound baths.

Meditation
Allow your mind to be free, surrender and just be. The practice of meditation will assist you in your journey to optimal health in mind, body and spirit. An over-thinking, over-active mind can create imbalances within (your) being. Meditation will help to increase immunity, lower blood pressure, reduces stress and anxiety, it aids in your overall well-being physically and emotionally. Meditation helps us to leave our daily routine, to slow down and go inward. You will be guided through specific breathing techniques that will deliberately exhale stress, tensions and fear, then we inhale light, beauty, peace and love. We slow our minds and slow our bodies until we reach that place of quiet and stillness. Meditation can renew us and help us return to our lives feeling refreshed and open.
Yin Yang Yoga (Sattva inspired)
This 1 hour class is designed to systematically unwind the body and bring it back to a state of comfort and harmony. Sequences are created to cleanse, tone, and free the body of blockages, density and tension. This practice is open to all bodies no matter your level of experience. This all levels class is designed to help you find balance between the physical (Hatha Yoga) and meditative (Raja Yoga) practice. The focus is to obtain and maintain a strong emphasis on incorporating body, breath and mind, creating fluid movements between postures (asanas) using the breath and exploring your own endless possibility. In our sequences we shift the focus between front/back/side body and core strength. Each class includes specific breathing techniques and meditation. Beginners and continuing students welcome.

Yin & Breath/Yin Yoga Nidra
This beautiful, serene and "delicious" 1 hour class draws from the belief that mental and physical health are interrelated, and should be conditioned together. Yin Yoga is a great way to create space in the body to decompress and surrender what it is that is weighing us down. Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of time. Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body- the tendons, fascia, and ligaments-with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Yoga Nidra or “conscious sleep,” which is described as the mental state between wakefulness and sleep; systematically relaxing the body and mind while maintaining awareness. Come connect and relax!

Mindful Yoga
All we really need to do is tune into our intuition a little more, and simply pay attention to life. More than improving flexibility and strength, yoga and mindfulness impact the social, emotional, mental and physical health of everyone who practices. So give it a try. Get on your mat, take a deep breath, and take advantage of the many benefits of yoga and mindfulness. Mindfulness isn’t some new age hippy theory and it isn’t just for those who practice yoga, it’s an important practice for everyone, no matter who you are. Mindfulness doesn’t mean wandering around in a trance-like state, analyzing every minute action and floating through life, it’s very much about experiencing life in its entirety, because more often than not, we tend to miss most of it.
This gentle practice will include breath work, meditation and physical practice. Suitable for all levels.

AromaTouch Technique
The AromaTouch Technique is a simple yet powerful way to provide every individual with an essential oil experience where the application of eight individual CPTG Essential Oils is applied to the back and the feet to create a feeling of overall wellness.
Each individual receiving the AromaTouch can have a different response to this technique:
Reduce Stress
Boost Immunity
Reduce inflammation
Restore homeostasis to the body
AromaTouch Technique is a clinical approach to applying essential oils along energy meridians and visceral contact points of the back and feet to help balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of the body; improves overall wellbeing by reducing physical and emotional stressors and by supporting healthy autonomic function.
Energy Healing - Reiki
Reiki is a simple and safe method of spiritual, emotional and physical healing that everyone can use. Reiki is powerful yet gentle.
Reiki, The Universal Life Force Energy, can provide deep relaxation and stress reduction; when we are deeply relaxed, our body has the ability to heal itself on all levels: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Life force energy flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around our bodies in a field of energy called the aura. Life force energy nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of energy is disrupted, it can lead to physical illness, block our ability to love our self or others, lower our self-esteem, limit our personal & career potential, perpetuate cycles of fear, depression, anxiety, and also halt our spiritual growth.
A treatment feels differently to each person. Treatments (if guided) can include hands on or hovering, essential oil application, use of tools such as sound, crystals, aura cleanse and working with intentions and mantras.
