Diverse yoga movement for real people
Facilitating safe, conscious, and intentional yoga movement to nourish a sense of home in your body
Movement needs can vary from person to person, and from day to day
We're human! We're wired to have variable levels of energy day to day, different wellness goals, life transitions can shift the way our body works, and all of us are dealing with some level of wear and tear in our body.
​
Thankfully, to help establish a consistent practice there are so many wonderful ways to practice yoga. I work to encourage an inquiry based practice where you can check in to see what your body needs on a given day and pick a practice to nourish yourself
Not all yoga is the same! Get to know different styles and take your pick
