Classes invite you to find your own unique way of being. We meet in a slow-paced, warm, cozy environment, offering time and space to be with the experience of the body-mind-soul through gentle movement and somatic explorations. We may also regularly weave in breathwork, short meditation practices, readings, music, and time for nourishing rest. Classes include a long, luxurious savasana with an optional essential oil mini-massage at the temples and ears.
Classes focus on creating contemplative, deeply nourishing practices that support us in building body-mind connection, accessing inner wisdom, and connecting to what each of us considers sacred. I always emphasize well-informed, safe mobility work, strength and stability, self-awareness, and slow, steady practices that nourish the body, mind, and soul.
I have had specialized training in Viniyoga, trauma-informed yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra. Classes help support our ability to get to to know our own bodies and nervous systems and help build our interoceptive and proprioceptive skills.
We may weave in balance work, exploring comfort and resistance, and other embodiment-focused modalities to our practices. Props such as blankets, bolsters, straps, and other tools are readily available.
With the contemplative, somatically-focused style of yoga I offer, we pay attention to the experiences of connection, embodiment, and what we learn through the process. It's not about attaining a posture or specific outcome. Please have no worries if you are new to movement practices of if you don't consider yourself to be flexible. I began practicing yoga in 1993 and started teaching in 2005. I am always happy to share this journey with others.
