I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been told by a person that they are not flexible so can’t do yoga. Ha! I’m a myth buster! Your muscles are designed to stretch and lengthen! Yoga is not only beneficial for increasing flexibility, but also strengthening and balance, along with connecting with your body overall. One key ingredient is utilizing breathwork or pranayama with your yoga asana practice (yoga poses). Integrating your breath or prana is an essential part of deepening those stretches over time. With muscle memory, your muscle fibers will begin to lengthen and “remember” how to achieve elongation without injury. Yoga is transformative in so many ways! I hope to work with you to help guide your journey to increased flexibility and more!

To me, age is a mindset not a number! I’ve personally taken yoga classes from excellent instructors of all ages and sat back in awe of their strength while moving through very advanced yoga postures. I have found inspiration through these instructors to advance my own personal practice! Anybody, any age or size can benefit from yoga! I feel very strongly about teaching all levels and all-inclusive yoga. I offer many options to postures, so students are able to gauge their own goals and advance as they are ready. My hope is that each yoga session you take will help you to gain more strength and transform your body, leaving you with more of a connection to your authentic self!

With an injury or any serious health condition, please consult with a medical physician before starting any exercise program. I am a Registered Nurse and Certified Yoga Instructor, but still unable to diagnose or treat medical conditions, so ask that you work with your medical provider to ensure that it is safe for you to begin any exercise program whether it be with me or someone else. Once you’re received permission, I am able to tailor a program that is best suited for your needs.

Yes of course! All ages are welcomed. Kids under the age of 8 are free! Depending on your own personal goals, we may want to schedule separate times for you personally, so we can focus on your plan. If you are looking to practice yoga with your child or children, then we can tailor the yoga session for you and your family! I would love to see more kiddos out there practicing yoga and meditation. What a gift to give our children! Developing mindfulness and connecting to the body should be shared with our future generations in my opinion.

The answer is YES! YES! For me personally, meditation has become part of my daily routine, and I find great comfort in knowing that during that time, I am able to connect with myself and begin my day grounded with a sense of inner calm and peace. Meditation is a practice that takes time to cultivate and become part of your daily life. Beginning slowly is key in my opinion, in order for you to learn how to connect with your breath and tune in to your higher self. Starting just 5 minutes a day and building upon that can be a way of receiving great benefits to your health and over all well-being. Our daily lives are often filled with many do to lists and stressful situations. Resetting and grounding through your meditation practice can help to achieve a greater quality of life, and healthy coping mechanisms. Inner peace is the key to obtaining a peaceful outer world. It starts with YOU!
