What is YOGA? My answer has changed over and over again. It’s a question I urge you to ask yourself. I have been practicing and teaching for almost 20 years. At this moment yoga is about paying attention to all of my senses. This translates as allowing myself to feel anything and everything. Yoga is laughter and crying and anger and joy and gratitude and love. Yoga is digging into my inner landscape and unraveling and coming back to my self over and over again. I hold the deepest gratitude and respect for my teachers Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller.

You are not alone. Does depression have you down or stuck in bed with little or no energy? This practice encourages you to simply move. I will gently guide you through some poses and have you focus on your breath and grounding yourself. It's my go-to when my own depression makes an appearance and leaves me feeling stuck and exhausted. I either feel better or I feel better that I at least tried to feel better!

45 minutes of Standing Poses only focused on the GLUTES. My style is to MOVE you a lot and offer challenges. I teach the details of alignment! You will learn to do the poses safely and know if you're doing them correctly for YOUR body. Ground your SELF, find those muscles to Stabilize and then you will be FREE To OPEN. (Added bonus: great for those of you with wrist, elbow or shoulder issues that prevent weight-bearing on your arms!)

An opportunity to move the body with a focus on HIPS. OPEN hips doesn't mean HEALTHY hips. A body prone to stiffness justifies an emphasis on flexibility and a body prone to flexibility requires an emphasis on stabilizing. THIS class is Well rounded: Flow with Sun Salutations, Standing Poses, Core, Arm balance, Backbends and a delicious cool down of stretching. My instructions teach you how to KNOW your BODY so that you can try ANY POSE you want SAFELY. My style is challenging however you will ALWAYS have the choice to do LESS. I will also throw in some chunks of Philosophy and remind you to BREATHE and most likely laugh at myself. I invite you to laugh and at the end of the day not take any of this too seriously unless of course you're in the mood for a good cry...
