Classes

My approach to group classes

I cultivate a positive group energy to build a community that thrives on being challenged, perhaps walking toward goals and wishes, while also being wise. We cultivate both non-judgmental awareness and action as we practice. Respecting and encouraging ourselves while reaching for our own ultimate potential. EVERYONE is meant to move in their own way, in their own time. We celebrate this! It’s you, me and we! All of my classes and programs include:

• a creative yet balanced approach to movement (no fads, no extremes)
• a steady and consistent classes to help support your growth
• building positive experiences targeted to your goals and needs 
• becoming grounded and mindful as you learn and practice yoga

Joy and laughter encouraged!

I welcome you to join my next class or workshop, to be a part of a small, thriving community of mindfully strong, resilient people.

What classes includes

• Clear instructions with a simple, grounded approach
• Frequent check in’s to see how you’re doing
• Room to ask questions
• Feedback is given, if desired (if so, please have the camera angled to show the entire body). Camera on is not mandatory for zoom classes however.
• We focus on the everyday yoga essentials that will help you feel great (for a lifetime!)
• We build community and welcome all

What this class does NOT include
X Overly complex or “fancy” postures that are out-of-reach (and out of touch)
X The expectation that you must be “bendy” or “stretchy” to be doing yoga
X Getting bogged down or up in your head worried about doing things “right”
X Any form of negative, self-depreciation or negative self-criticism
