I love teaching both group and private yoga classes to beginners and intermediate students alike. Even if you feel like you are “too stiff” for yoga, you are in the right place!
If you would prefer to take a private lesson (or a few!) before joining group yoga classes, that’s often a great place to start! That way, we can adjust poses and breathing practices for your individual needs, abilities, and/or injuries. You can certainly continue private lessons indefinitely or join a group class.
I do recommend a minimum of four private classes held once a week to begin to develop the practice habit and to begin to see the effects on your body, mind, and spirit. Private lessons can be scheduled at your convenience between 9 AM and 8 PM every day except Thursday.
Private classes and group classes can be booked online here. Group classes don’t require pre-booking, but if you choose to do so, you earn points toward free classes! Each group class that you pre-book and attend earns you one point, and once you accumulate ten points, you have a free class!
You might wonder what “kind” of yoga I teach.. Well, the simplest answer is that I have been influenced by many teachers over the years, and they have all “spiced” the dish that I offer.
When I say “Hatha” I am referring to movement-based classes that balance the energies of stimulating and energizing with the energies of cooling and soothing. These classes will also include “Pranayama,” or breathing exercises, specifically chosen to complement the movement practices we are doing. Meditation will oftentimes be included.
When I say “Restorative” I am referring to posture classes that utilize props in a specific way, that is to minimize sensation in the posture so that you can relax into the shape we are creating without effort. In these types of classes, it is not uncommon to fall asleep. We jokingly refer to it as “adult nap time!”
When I say “Yin” I am referring to posture classes that focus on applying mild to moderate stress to the joints of the body (as opposed to the muscular tissues specifically), and in so doing, you relax the muscles in the target area, allowing for maintenance of the health and usability of connective tissues and joints.

Loving the deep stretches you experience in a yin class and wish the class was longer? Once a season (Mar/Jun/Sept/Dec) I offer a 2-hr extended yin practice to complement the weekly Friday night yin class. Join us for the next one in June! This extended practice is appropriate for all levels of practitioner.
