Yoga Alliance certified Integrative Yoga Therapy teacher, Vivian W. Kurutz, offers 2 one hour private, in-home sessions (Manhattan only). Vivian began practicing yoga in NYC in 1991 and has enjoyed Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini and Vinyasa styles. She is grateful to the many teachers who have given her the knowledge, tools and discipline to live better in her body. Her goal as a teacher is to encourage individual growth and development. She has created a teaching practice where one can gain strength, flexibility, body rejuvenation and stress relief in a supportive, non-competitive and joyful atmosphere.

Integrative Yoga style draws from various schools of Hatha Yoga to create a program that focuses on proper alignment, safety, and respect for individual body structures and experiences. The goal is to allow the process of improving the health of the body to unfold itself rather than by "forcing". Breath and postures are used to bring greater awareness to the body and facilitate opening, strengthening, energizing and relaxation of the nervous system creating balance in all the bodily systems.
