When you (yes I am talking to you) think of yoga, what comes to your mind? Workout, zent out, bending, relaxation, or another word? People go to yoga classes for different reasons, whether it be emotional, physical, or a combination of both. Personally I got into yoga for strictly stress management. I was just starting college, working, and was in a long term relationship at the time. So I felt like I was being pulledContinueContinue reading “Restore Your Mind, Body, & Soul”

Inhale The Arms Up….Exhale Hands To Heart Center.
“The light in me honors the light in you…when I am in that place of light in me and you’re in that place of light in you…we become one, Namaste.” That quote/statement/phrase is how I end each of my yoga classes.

Yoga is for everyone, why did you just say this!?!?!” I said it because it’s true. I hate that it’s true, but it is. I personally have to dealContinueContinue reading “Round Your Shoulders In Paschimottanasana.”
Pour me a drink and come natarajasana with me!
“Are you ready to start your yoga journey?…….Do you need any special modifications during class?…..You’re not exactly what we are looking for, for our studio. Thank you for your time…..Is this your first yoga class?…” These phrases and questions are ones I hear frequently before or after I take a class…..when I meet a fellow yogi for the first time…or when I apply for yoga jobs. Of course no person or studio will actually sayContinueContinue reading “Pour me a drink and come natarajasana with me!”
