About Me
HI! I remember my mom insisting I go to a yoga class with her in the mid 70’s, I had heard of yoga, but I was 11 at the time and why would I say no. I was the non-stop somersaulting, cart-wheeling, front hand-springing kid, maybe she was trying to get me to settle down! I don’t recall much from those classes, but I believe it ignited a spark.
As I reached adulthood, I practiced yoga off and on without a lot of regularity; when my children began high school, I began to delve a bit deeper, practicing more, setting up space in my house and looking into becoming a teacher. In 2017 I signed up for my teacher training and my journey began.
I received my RYT 200 and began to teach. I have taught in studios, gyms, churches, community colleges, nature and via ZOOM (Covid inspired).
If you are interested in some inner and outer work, please take a look. I love teaching, especially to the senior population. I am hoping to bring yoga into more people’s lives. We are all running at such a fast pace and yes, yoga can calm your mind and help you to slow down, but did you know, Restorative Yoga has been shown to be a great way to burn fat. How? The mind – body connection; the release of cortisol (stress hormone). Come and give it a try!
My Teaching Style
Teaching online is not new on every level, but it was new to me in 2020. I have tried different ways of teaching online and the best way that works for me and my students is to do a mix of demos and verbal cues. This allows me the opportunity to come to the screen and see how the students are doing.
My classes are as challenging as you want them to be for your practice. I offer many different modifications so everyone can have a safe and productive class. I embrace pranayama (breath work) as I believe that is what our world needs, focus on your breathing can be extremely beneficial to your body. I also honor our time together by ending with savasana, (corpse pose) which has been said to be the most important pose in any yoga practice!
