Yoga is more than being flexi-bendy in our bodies, it’s about finding a suppleness of spirit. By weaving biomechanics, somatics, trauma-sensitivity, biotensegrity, and applied neurology with the eight limbs of yoga, my teaching explores asana as a means to self understanding. What that looks like in class is progressive loading of the body. Gentle yet challenging movement is interspersed with occasional prop work, and interoceptive cues invite self awareness. What starts for many students as a physical practice begins to nurture inner strength and stability. I did my first 300 hours of yoga training with Hilltop Yoga. I also completed 200 hours with Peoples Yoga, Teaching Yoga to Every Body program. Having studied Kinesiology at MSU, I became intrigued with other movement disciplines and their relationship to the mind-body connection. Incorporating these in my classes is a hallmark of my teaching, and after 13 years of practicing and instructing yoga, I continue to study and learn from a variety of teachers. Outside of my passion for yoga, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, being out in nature, and learning about sustainable living. Yoga is the vehicle that brings us closer to our true selves. Everyone is welcome in my class. So come as you are, and practice finding your creative expression - in postures and in life, to plant seeds of peace and shine your light outward!

Gentle Yoga description:
This all-level, beginner-friendly class provides options to find connections in your body and foundational movement skills to help you feel better out in the world. It is a softened and slow practice that uses props to make some poses and movements easier and some harder. We practice building awareness with some less commonly worked-on areas of the body including hands/wrists, feet, necks, and more.

This class focuses on the systems of balance (vision, vestibular, and proprioception) to practice improving our balance. We will work on creating stability from the ground up and challenge our balance through playful movement. All levels are welcome. We will have the wall or a chair available for support if you are not solid on your feet.

Style Description
My classes are an integrated style of yoga. Holding yoga philosophy and tradition dear, I also bring in elements of biomechanics, kinesiology, and somatic education. I have a moderate pace to the flow of postures, but I try my best to teach to the energy and practice of those in the room each class. My classes encourage finding spaces in you, through movement, that resonate with where you are, in this breath. This nurturing approach assists us in coming to our edge with each posture in our lives (on our mats, as well as off), with openness, practicing letting go of outcomes so we can feel our way through. We practice leading our growth from a space of love, compassion and honesty. It is my wish for you to find your own practice, the balance that resonates with where you are. I offer progressive loading and functional movement cues and tips to better stack your body and life to not only feel good during yoga, but feel better throughout your day. I also offer options to make the pose feel better, whether that means backing it off a little to enable breath and fluidity, or turning the challenge up a little bit to feel the strength one holds. Because I recognize that some use yoga as their only movement modality, I sometimes integrate some pulling and stabilizing movements to balance the pushing and mobility of the yoga postures. I use a comfortable temperature for the yoga environment. I teach not only the physical aspect of yoga, but also talk about the other seven limbs of yoga. I talk about chakras (energetic wheels of light that relate physiologically to different functioning within you), will sometimes guide short meditations, and chant AUM (audible vibration for sound therapy, the “sound within all sounds”) at the end of every class. I call my services, Seeds of Peace Yoga & Life, because I wish to be of service in guiding you to plant seeds of peace within your heart, observe your growth, and carry the spaces you find on your mat, out into the world. Hope to see you in class! May your days shine bright! Many blessings to you! Namaste’
