Benjamin has developed a unique style of neuromuscular massage that is effective in resolving injury and improving body posture. By first straightening misalignment in the limbs, his work releases restriction into the trunk of the body, enabling correction of core imbalances and the realignment of muscles, fascia, bones, & nerves. The study of Asana Yoga builds a core foundation for balanced movement patterns in your body.
Well-organized muscle actions help you to access more power with greater ease. These practices will develop your ability to stabilize and posture your body from the deepest core muscles, while powering your limbs with your larger, more superficial movers. Results from therapy include greater ease, control and range of movement; improved breathing and circulation; reduction of stress, inflammation & musculoskeletal pain.
Recipients also experience lightness in body, clarity of mind, increased energy in waking hours and better sleep at night.

The Iyengar/Anusara based style that I teach is loaded with the hands-on understanding of kinesiology that I bring from ten years as a structural realignment therapist.
I have a sharp eye for tension and imbalance in bodies; clear communication with my words and touch.
Each class I give has a coherent theme or focus that builds from the warm-up, expands through a movement flow, culminates with advanced asanas, and finishes in softness with restorative postures and full body relaxation.
While some students want to grow in yoga practice, many of us simply desire to improve our everyday physical well-being and prevent or rehabilitate injury.
