“Through embodiment, I widen the scope of Awareness and cultivate Intimacy, and Creativity.”

Dustin Maxwell is a 500 hour experienced, registered yoga teacher (ERYT 500) and continuing education provider (YACEP). He has been guiding yoga since 2010 and has taught over 4,000 classes. He is also a dancer, Thai yoga bodyworker, meditator, and eastern philosophile. This eclectic knowledge and experience fluidly and intuitively make their way into his yoga classes while honoring and applying the root intentions of yoga as a spiritual practice through asana, bandha, mudra, pranayama, and meditation. His Ayurvedic and tantric informed classes are breath-centric, accessible and invite just enough challenge to create positive change. His primary intentions are to help people step fully into their bodies with unconditional friendliness, to know themselves fearlessly and to cultivate witness consciousness – that inner observer who remains unaffected and unconditionally loving. He has studied with awakened teachers from all over the country. In honor of his teachers and of the Teacher in All Things, he is grateful for the opportunity to facilitate practitioners’ movement toward freedom and fulfilment.

AN INVITATION TO CONNECT

It is in and through my body that I have found the greatest teacher and healer. I have used my body to work through all kinds of trauma. In my experience trauma is synonymous with disconnection and the most painful trauma is the feeling of being disconnected from Heart, Spirit, Source. There have been times when I have felt that my body was an obstacle preventing me from connecting to the best parts of myself, but I have learned just the opposite- my body is essential in Connection, Creativity and Loving Awareness. I have been given many gifts from many teachers, guides, and mentors over the last 20+ years of embodiment research - gifts that have helped me heal and reconnect. I have been honored to guide others in embodiment practices for the last decade and I am now focusing on One-on-One guidance. I invite you to connect!
