Yoga

I first began practicing yoga over 15 years ago. From the very first class, something deep within me connected to the practice, and I left the studio feeling not only great physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. I continued to have a regular practice for a while, and then I became a mother. And then I became a mother again. And then I became a mother again. Through those years of babies and young children, my practice became more sporadic, but yoga was always something I returned to — a touchstone. Every time I returned to my mat, yoga allowed me to release some of the tension that I was carrying, and always left me feeling more grounded and a bit lighter. 

During the height of the COVID pandemic and subsequent shutdown, I once again found myself turning to yoga more frequently, almost out of desperation. And then, I hit a really low point, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and I found myself on a healing journey across all spectrums of well-being. Once again, yoga was there, and I began a dedicated daily practice. Throughout that journey, my regular yoga practice brought so much peace and healing in conjunction with the other healing modalities I was investing in. Along the way, I felt called to enroll in a yoga teacher training, with the hope to share the magic, beauty, and peace of yoga with others. 

My practice, and the way I teach, is less about physical fitness, though you will definitely build strength and gain flexibility and openness throughout your body! However, my style is a slower flow, designed to help you connect with your body and your breath, to help clear your mind, to have time for yourself, to be with yourself, to come back to yourself. With the goal of ultimately feeling a bit more at peace, and a bit lighter, than when you first came to your mat.
