CLASS/EVENT DESCRIPTIONS:
(Most classes are Online / Retreats are In-Person)
Deeply Relax Your Whole Being
Sunday Evenings ​
8 ET / 7 CT / 6 MT / 5 PT - 1 hour + 15 minutes
This practice activates the 'Rest and Digest' response, in other words, the Parasympathetic response in our Nervous System, which can help relieve health problems that have been caused or exacerbated by chronic stress, such as fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal ailments, insomnia, hypertension, anxiety disorders and many more.​
​
Set up a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.
We will breathe, set an intention, and after a brief gentle warm-up, settle into a few supported Restorative postures. ​
Resting in stillness, with the body fully supported by yoga props (or your own versions, like pillows and blankets) helps to relax the mind/body/spirit so you feel refreshed.

Gentle Yoga Asana + Mindfulness
Tues / Thurs Mornings -
10 ET / 9 CT / 8 MT / 7 PT - 1 Hour
Mindful Yoga practice is a slow gentle practice designed to build resilience in the nervous system, improve mood and mental clarity, increase physical strength, balance and coordination as well as develop a greater sense of overall well-being.
Gently stretch and strengthen the body in reclined, seated, and standing poses, while practicing mindful awareness. This practice hydrates fascia (connective tissue), lubricates joints, improves the mind/body connection, (proprioception & interoception), which keeps us safer, more 'coordinated' as we move through the world.
Mindfulness is a practice that helps us remain present in the moment, it helps us identify our thoughts and beliefs, and makes it easier to respond more calmly to our inner and outer circumstances. Mindfulness can also ease anxiety, as well as mental and physical tension.
Yoga for All Bodies - Online
Gentle Chair Yoga
Tuesday evenings
7:30 ET/6:30 CT/5:30 MT/ 4:30 PT - 1 Hour
A gentle movement practice using a chair; sometimes seated and sometimes standing using the chair for balance and support.
​
Chairs, as well as other props, such as yoga blocks and straps, are recommended to help make the postures safe/more accessible.
Breath-work and mindful awareness are also part of this trauma-informed practice.
​
Each time we come to our practice, we bring a different body based on our recent activities, emotional state, physical pain level, and more. You're encouraged to modify the suggested postures, to listen to, and honor your body’s needs.
Next Session TBD - 2 Hours​
Contact me to schedule a session.
​
As we age, our bodies change. For example, our bones thin.
Some things are not within our control and some are.
​
​During this workshop, you will learn:
~How bone density is not the whole picture
~Modifiable risk factors – things within our control
~Specific yoga postures for improving bone strength
~Postures and actions to avoid when you have osteoporosis
~The pros and cons of medication for osteoporosis
​
~We’ll practice a gentle bone-healthy yoga sequence together
Conscious Awareness Sleep / Meditation
Next Session TBD - 1 Hour
During yoga nidra, participants are guided through a systematic practice of moving awareness from the external world to the inner world. Yoga Nidra brings us to a state of deep rest where our body, senses, intellect, and mind relax. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes into a healing state.
​
Yoga Nidra can be used to transform limiting belief systems about ourselves and the world; bringing about long-lasting physical, emotional, and mental healing.
​
During the practice, participants lie still on a comfortable surface with the intention to listen to the facilitator and move into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep.
​
The Gifts of Your Breath - Online
Breathing for Optimal Mental & Physical Health
Next Session - TBD
Not an Asana (posture) practice.
Contact me to schedule a session.
The quality of our breath has a significant impact on the quality of our life experience, our physiology, and our health. Discover how your breathing can benefit (or hurt) you physically, mentally, energetically, and spiritually.
Learn how to reduce anxiety, create more energy, how to support the immune system, lung health and overall health by adjusting the way you breathe.​
​
We'll practice together and notice the impacts.
