About Yoga Vortex
"Rise and Thrive—Yoga for Every Body, Every Journey."
Yoga Vortex is a sanctuary for those navigating the path of healing, recovery, and reconnection with their bodies. We provide a compassionate, adaptive approach to yoga, bridging the gap between therapeutic movement and a standard yoga studio experience. Through gentle, restorative, and somatic-based practices, we empower individuals experiencing chronic pain, injury recovery, or mobility challenges to regain confidence in movement and deepen their personal practice.
Our specialized classes, based on pain levels, are designed to meet you where you are and support your transition into a traditional yoga environment—when you’re ready. At Yoga Vortex, we believe in the power of mindful movement, breath, and self-awareness to unlock resilience and transformation.
Our vision is to redefine accessibility in yoga, making it a safe and welcoming practice for every body—regardless of physical limitations or past injuries. We strive to create a healing vortex of movement, breath, and self-discovery where individuals can reconnect with their inner strength, rise beyond limitations, and thrive in their practice and life.

Providing a bridge for those who want to practice yoga but aren’t ready for a standard studio environment.

Techniques and Trainings Utilized
The VORTEX
The vortex spiral is the primordial blueprint for all color, sound, form, and function. It represents a single point of supreme consciousness that expands outward, decaying and breaking down into many parts, into the center, where the many parts become one and whole again. The spiral is represented as a scale of ascending and descending, which is the pattern of all realities, from musical scales to geometry, mathematics, fractal patterning, and consciousness. From the river to electricity, all currents flow in spirals. The shape of the spiral, having the capacity to process infinite expansion and contraction, holds within it the secrets of accessing unlimited free energy and an unlimited free consciousness that can move up and down the “Jacobs Ladder” of the universe at will.

Clockwise spiral: Represents the Sun and it’s harmony with Earth.
Counter Clockwise: Represents the manupulation of nature in the form of spells (conscious manifistatin).
Techniques and Training
Kripalu Yoga. “When you deliberately put your body in a yoga posture, control your breath and direct your breath, and direct your attention, you master the will and are able to access deep states of surrender.”
Sustaining the posture will produce the polarity opposites of tension-relaxation. Without effort, there is no relation. Deeper and deeper integration comes through conscious effort. Applying conscious effort in the face of immanent frustration will spontaneously produce conscious relations.
