Yoga has been a steady support in my life since graduating college in the late 90s. I began my journey with more athletic forms of yoga (Bikram, heated vinyasa). Then as I moved through different stages of life (from pregnancy, to new mom, to now midlife) my practice has shifted and evolved to include more restorative practices. My teaching centers mental and emotional balance just as much as bringing more physical comfort to your body. When I am not teaching, I am working one on one with clients in my private yoga therapy practice in J.P. My love for learning has led me to many certifications over the last 20+ years: 200hr YTT from YogaSpirit Studios (2005), 500hr YTT from Barbara Benagh and 600hr Yoga Therapy certification from Phoenix Rising (2020). Additional certifications include: Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy Training, Thai Yoga Massage, Restorative Yoga Teacher Training, The Art of Assists, Yoga for Anxiety and Depression, and Reiki level 1.

Description

Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held grounding poses, achieved mainly by laying or sitting on your mat. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body. Yin yoga works on activating our parasympathetic nervous system which allows for restoration and healing to occur and therefore decreases stress and anxiety. It's wonderful for all levels, soothing music and the beautiful ambiance of candlelight glow create a relaxing space in which to practice.
