I sincerely believe there is a yoga for every body.
Whether your aim is to cultivate deep peace, improve your mood,
increase physical strength, balance and flexibility, become more self-aware, there is a practice for you.
Each practice offered focuses on a different aspect of yoga and its benefits.

Iyengar principles of alignment and use of props, plus slow mindful practices
to become embodied are consistent through all the practices.
Class Descriptions
Restorative Yoga
Deeply Relax Your Whole Being
Sunday Evenings - 6:00 pm MT
Enjoy an hour of self-care. Set up a calm relaxing environment, soft lighting, essential oils, etc. Together, we'll breathe, set an intention, practice a gentle warm-up, and settle into a few Restorative postures. Resting in stillness, fully supported by yoga props (or your own versions, like pillows and blankets) helps calm the nervous system, settle the mind/body. Reap the long-term physical and mental/emotional benefits of this amazing practice.
Improve Your Mood Mondays
Cultivating Self-Acceptance / Kindness
Monday Mornings - 9:00 am MT
With the intentions of self-acceptance, self-compassion, and Ahimsa (non-harming) we practice specific Pranayama (breathing techniques) as well as gentle heart and hip opening Asanas (postures) which have been shown to improve mood, decrease depression, and create vagal tone which builds emotional resilience. A kind and gentle way to start your week.
Mindful Movement
Gentle Yoga + Mindfulness
Tues / Thurs Mornings - 8:00 am MT
This practice is a gentle balanced yoga practice designed to
create a greater sense of overall well-being. We energize,
stretch, strengthen, and relax the body as well as develop
mindful awareness. Mindfulness is a practice that helps us remain present in more and more moments, helps us identify
our thoughts and belief systems that don't serve us, and make
it easier to respond vs react to outer circumstances.
FUNdaMentals of Yoga
Beginner Friendly Yoga Practice
Tuesday Evenings 6:00 pm MT
This class will include a discussion of yoga principles, concepts that help us find more ease and contentment in our daily lives. We'll also practice beginner-friendly Asana (poses) and Pranayama (breath work) during each class. I'll walk you through a variety of Asanas w/ details to keep your body safe and receive the full benefit of each pose. You're encouraged to listen to your body and practice within your comfort level.
Thursdays for Bone Strength
Strengthen Bones & Muscles / Improve Balance
Thursdays Mid-Day - 11:00 am MT
On Thursdays, we practice poses that have been shown to improve muscle & bone strength as well as improve posture
and balance. Osteoporosis can quietly sneak up on us and it can break bones which can be very painful and debilitating. Yoga keeps our tissues strong, helps develop proprioception - (awareness of our body in space), creates better balance so we're less likely to fall and therefore experience spinal fractures.
Friday Flow
Combines Poses w/a Gentle Flow
Friday Mornings - 9:00 AM MT
This practice combines elements of dance and yoga as we flow slowly and gently in and out of asanas (poses) coordinating movement and breath, energy and awareness, expressing to music, and having fun.
Slow Motion Flow / Dance
Be Your Own Valentine
