Overview
Class Experience
Yogis will learn through live guidance and demonstrations. They will be free to ask questions throughout practice and also offer encouragement to their fellow yogis during practice. Each practice will begin with the introduction of breath work (pranayama) for centering our attention and setting the intention for practice with a specific mantra or "I am" statement. Then we will begin to gently move our bodies to warm up before moving into our sequence of postures (asana). Yogis will learn foundational yoga postures as well as yoga philosophy and the role the practice plays in overall wellness. The practice of yoga is presented as a guide to wellness beyond the physical practice. It is offered as a lifestyle practice to help improve and maintain well-being. Please note that all bodies and levels of ability are welcome to join this class. Each class will be modified to ensure accessibility for each yogi.

Each yogi will gain:
- tools to create and maintain inner peace and deal with stress

- increased body awareness

Teacher expertise and credentials
Yoga is a way of life, not just postures and stretches that I practice on the mat, and I am very passionate about sharing this practice with others. Yoga is a practice in which I have invested over eight years of study, and I continue to study every day through my personal practice, self-study, reading, attending workshops, and more. My approach to guiding others through their yoga practice is love-driven and encourages freedom. All yogis are encouraged to listen to their bodies, thoughts, and emotions and move in the ways that feel best for them. It is my goal to help yogis create a personal practice that will help them navigate life in a way that brings them more peace, love, and ease. I share what I know and what I personally practice.

This was an exceptional well-taught class. Not only did my daughter learn yoga poses, she also learned their purpose. I would recommend this class...
This was the first time my daughter actually enjoyed any kind of mindfulness practice. I'm so grateful to this teacher. She's great!
