Vinyasa means "to place in a special way". There is a focus on organizing a sequence of movement and postures that invites the student to flow through them while matching breath to movement. The emphasis is one of invitation - explore movement and breath based on what you feel the need is in the moment.

I offer sequencing that starts with a gentle warm up. You then build heat as you transition an active sequence focusing on strengthening postures and integrated movement. Finally you land in a where the body and mind can invite space to relax and cool down, absorbing and honoring the practice and effort.

Yin yoga focuses on the connective tissues within the body - the tendons, ligaments, bones, and fascia - to increase flexibility, strength and hydration of your joints. An excellent compliment to the vinyasa practice as well as any other activity that requires a lot of movement such as running, biking, hiking, sports, etc.

Yin yoga is a radically different approach than that of vinyasa, power, or other movement or posture practices. Yin yoga holds postures for longer periods of time and in stillness while gently negotiating the edge of discomfort. The aim is to gently apply mild stress to the connective tissues while releasing tension from the muscles.

Because there is stillness and time in each shape, the yin practice also invites you to draw upon mindfulness practices to observe thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they shift within your experience.

Mindfulness Meditation is a practice that invites the practitioner to intentionally connect with the present moment. You invite your awareness to explore the experience that is happening in the environment around you and the sensations, thoughts, and feelings within you.

Drawing from the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, the practice focuses on acceptance of observations that are present. You practice acceptance without attaching judgement or values such as good or bad.

This is done through the lens of being kind, compassionate, and loving to yourself. In turn, it can lead to greater peace, happiness, and well-being not just for individuals but through our connections to the community and world as a whole.

I send out guided meditation through my email newsletter “Your Practice off The Mat”. You can sign up here

Functional Movement is the ability to perform daily tasks and movements with ease and efficiency. It involves the coordinated use of multiple muscle groups and joints to move with strength, stability and efficiency.

Maintaining your functional movement helps prevent injury, improve balance and stability, and sets you up for a lifetime of moving through your day with ease.

Drawing from my experience as a Balanced Athlete® Coach, Functional Movement Screening® Provider, and from yoga and mindfulness, this practice introduces you to the core concepts of sustainable, integrated, & functional movement principles.

You will use blocks, resistance bands, fitness pipe, yoga straps, blankets and more to notice and correct your movement patterns and imbalances while improving your strength and mobility.
