In-Person and Online Yoga From Beaver Creek
Welcome
Maura Brickman YM500/RYT300/E-RYT200
Hi everyone! My name is Maura, and I am an experienced yoga instructor living in Avon, Colorado. I teach in-person group classes locally at several of the resorts and hotels around the Vail Valley and Beaver Creek ski resorts, and I am also available to teach private group or one on one yoga sessions upon request. I also have my own online yoga studio platform where you have the option to join 2 live stream classes with me per week, and/or take a class recording online as a member whenever the timing works best for you. My classes include detailed instruction of yoga poses, anatomy, and sequencing, and focus on creating balance and strength within the body as a whole as an attempt to relieve stress and feel better physically and mentally.
Yoga Styles
As a yoga instructor, I can teach a variety of different yoga styles depending on what you are interested in and what your personal needs might be. These include Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Medicine and Self-Myofascial Release Techniques.
Most of my classes stem from the knowledge that I have gained after completing the 500 hour Yoga Medicine training with Tiffany Cruickshank. This training specializes in anatomy, function/dysfunction of the joints, and the science behind the yoga and myofascial release techniques (MFR) that can be used as a way to support an individual. I was trained in how specific yoga applications and sequencing are used to help with athlete recovery, injuries, women's health, building strength, balancing body tension, and nervous system regulation. Rather than teaching you to push your body into a shape that might not be the most supportive, my goal is to teach you to discover in your own practices what techniques will help you the most. By taking this particular approach to yoga, a student is able to adapt their routine to compliment their current activities and/or meet the demands of their life. Most techniques I share with students are used to help relieve tension and stress, build strength and resilience, and create balance. As a Yoga Medicine instructor, while working one on one, my job is to help you find the yoga and meditation practices and techniques that will be most helpful to you and your specific needs. I can help private clients track their progress over time, and work together with them to find the best ways to support a specific chief complaint and/or goal that they might have. I can also recognize when making an adaptation to the yoga plan or adding extra outside support might be needed.
