Age is for Cheese

Ivy Ray has been called many things, from empowerment practitioner to saint and life saver. Ivy’s unique approach to bodywork will transform you on many levels. She works very closely with her clients and mainly one on one. She consciously creates individual practices for people that bring them change. Sessions range from a highly informed intense rigorous yoga practice to propped and held restorative poses. As a guide to the deeper workings of the mind and spirit, Ivy closely attends to your individual needs. She herself is a full time student so her work is fresh, immediate and experiential.

The basis for Conscious Life is a practice of movement, form and mind called Katonah Yoga. It is a pragmatic, intelligent system developed by Nevine Michaan and her teachers, of which Ivy was gratefully one for eight years. The foundation of the practice is form and function, “precision of alignment being essential to ones ability to reconnect to self and source and to function and flow concentrically.” Props are a large element of the practice. They enable one to be in good form regardless of flexibility, they teach you how to plug into self and the earth, and when coupled with breath, they stabilize the nervous system — a very common need of most of Ivy’s highly stressed clients. All of this is fueled by Vinyasa sun salutations and a conscious use of imagination and breath.

Ivy’s care and attention is done passion and humor. She will safely push you beyond your limit and make sure that through it all, there is a good time to be had!
