Yoga
Yoga is simply the cultivation of breath, mindfulness and awareness. Here we are invited stay conscious while moving, sometimes holding an odd shape for awhile, sometimes flowing from shape to shape. Again and again we find an edge and breathe into it. We discover the balance between strength and ease and perhaps this quality extends into our daily lives. Our time on the mat and off the mat begins to merge. A deep breath in traffic. A lovely stretch at the desk. Yoga is life.
My classes are inspired by the graceful movement of Vinyasa flow, the devotion and love of Bhakti, and the intelligent sequencing and powerful core work of Forrest yoga.
As I’ve deepened my teaching I find pleasure in slowing the pace to enhance the mindfulness, the possibility of truly being in the pose. In some classes, there's also a place for flow and intensity, challenging ourselves, moving beyond resistance safely. Students say the classes are grounded, soulful and healing. I strive for inclusion of everyone, including all levels of experience and body types.

What others say: “Your class was challenging yet restorative at the same time” … “I absolutely LOVED your class … it was really peaceful, still, safe, fun, and the sequencing was awesome…” …”The hands-on assists are worth the price of admission!” “This class was like a 90 minute yoga hug!” “I love the class because I can close my eyes and go inside.
