Aria's teaches her classes based on what the group (or individual) most needs on that day. On full moon days, she tends towards teaching more of a flow. On new moon days, she tends towards teaching more of an alignment-based, longer holds class.

Her Vinyasa flow classes are most influced by the Prana Flow tradition,which links breath to pulsation in movement. By allowing the focus of each class to be the breath, each pose, or asana, becomes almost secondary. The movements are circular, encouraging a natural awareness of how our body moves through life. The physical practice becomes a movement meditation, an inner challenge: can I maintain a powerful, deep breath, no matter what pose I do, no matter what I am experiencing?

In Aria's alignment-based classes, the flow is slower and she emphasizes internal muscular, skeletal and breath awareness in each pose. Though the class may not move as quickly, each pose is held for much longer, allowing for a deeper release and a safe exploraiton of our body's limits.

Expect each class to contain some type of core strengthening and all classes to maintain an awareness of the breath. This focus on the breath, or pranayama, is so that we can access Prana, or Life Force. The end result is not just an amazing workout and deep stretch, but a powerful meditation that stills the mind and creates harmony in the body

Because Aria enjoys variety, she never teaches the same class twice. Whether you attend a group class or see her privately, you will always be exposed to something new.

Aria is grateful for all the styles of yoga she has studied and includes elements of each in her practice and her teaching. She owes a deep gratitude to her mentor, Shiva Rea whose fluid style of Prana Flow incorporates modern vinyasa sequencing, fused with the ancient Indian martial arts practice of Kalari. Aria is also tremendously grateful to her City Yoga teacher,Anthony Benanati for his vast knowledge of alignment and his ability to inspire her to work smarter than she ever has before. Aria's other influences lie in Hatha yoga, as taught to her by Ana Forrest; Power Yoga, as taught to her by Bryan Kest; Sivananda Yoga, Tai Chi and Chi Gong.
