My Practice

The practice of Yoga has been around for thousands of years and is a method in which one begins to connect the physical, mental and spiritual body through the following of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. The physical practice of yoga is just one part of the 8 limbs, known as asana, and is what comes to mind when we hear the word “yoga”.

As someone who has been practicing for over eleven years I always have to laugh at some of the responses I get from those around me regarding Yoga: “I am not flexible enough for yoga”, “I am not a yoga person”, “I need a more physical workout”. Sometimes, I cannot help but feel the people who have the most reasons about not trying yoga, are those that need it the most. With so many styles and teachers out there, I truly do believe there is a type of yoga for everybody and every body. However, it is really up to you test the waters, seek out the style, and teacher that suits you best.

As a teacher, I share my practice as I have always known it to be – straight forward and accessible to all. I am merely a guide in my classes to make sure you can practice the physical aspect of yoga in a safe and sustainable way. I allow my students to take what they want from the practice. While some students have the yearning to learn more about the philosophy of yoga, and go deeper into the practice, other students choose to use the practice of yoga to help compliment their other forms of physical activity, a sort of cross-training if you will. This is what I love about the practice, you can really take it however you want, and as a teacher I am here to support you in that. Being able to debunk preconceived notions of yoga, and seeing my students benefit from the practice in their own right, are my favorite parts of teaching.

I accept that my style of yoga may not be for everyone but I respect all styles and therefore, if my class is not meant for you, I am more then happy to suggest other styles that may be a better match. Please view the description of my classes, how I personally define levels within yoga, and the styles that influence my teaching so you can gain a better idea of what you’re getting into when you attend one of my classes.
