Public Yoga Classes
Moving better means feeling better.
Do you want to be more balanced?
Feel you could benefit from better posture?
Surely life would be better were you more mobile?
How about getting better sleep?
Aches, pains, and life’s worries can leave you in a physical and mental fog. You don’t feel like yourself. Jumping up to grab the front door or getting in and out of the car isn’t happening as easily as it used to. It’s hard to think clearly – you’re either over-tired and sluggish or too jittery and reactive. A lot is happening right now but not a lot of self-care. What if you were able to do something besides grabbing a coffee for that boost of energy you need? Sometimes the key to releasing chronic pain is just moving differently from our norm. Think of your regular day.
How often do you sit on the floor? Wiggle your toes? Put any weight on your hands? (Touching a keyboard doesn’t count!)
These drop-in style yoga classes for teens and adults…
While I see a noticeable benefit to people who come to yoga weekly, I realize schedules don’t always allow for it. This drop-in style class lets you come as often or as infrequently as your schedule allows. No prior yoga or meditation experience is required, and I will provide modifications for all levels.
Whether you need more mobility for your workouts or are just getting back into the swing of things, I promise to provide an inclusive atmosphere when I’m teaching. All ages are welcome, but I may request more information from parents or guardians of teens.
If the variety and unexpectedness of a public class is a concern for you, consider booking a one-on-one yoga therapy session first.
These classes provide a welcoming atmosphere for beginners and advanced students, with options for everyone. Regardless of what strength or flexibility you do or do not have, it’s ok. I promise to meet you where you are, so you can enjoy class and find the right mix of effort and ease for you.
Let’s talk about what these classes look like…
The poses will be safely aligned for your body.
We all must start – or re-start – somewhere. Safe modifications let you build up your strength and mobility over time while still feeling like you are part of the class.
The movements will not only make you stronger on the yoga mat but help you move better off of the yoga mat.
In class, we’ll explore when to stretch muscles to make them stronger and when to relax them. So often, aches and pains come from not too much of one thing – lack of movement or too much of only a few movements. You will explore moving your body in DIFFERENT ways.
Breath work is used to help keep you grounded in the present moment, so you can put your busy life aside for an hour.
This focus on breath has been shown to improve sleep as well as mental clarity. Whether it be a particular breathing technique or merely noticing your breath, this is a skill you can take off your mat the next time you feel overwhelmed.
Each 60-minute class will include a 15 minute rest.
This lets your nervous system integrate what your body did in class, one of the benefits of yoga: It helps your body and brain organize complex information quickly. The next time you come to your yoga mat, your body will say, “Hey, we’ve done this before… I got this.” It helps you progress over time to accomplish your goals.
All classes are sacred and some are led through a biblical lens.
Each class will have a description of what you can anticipate. No matter what, you will encounter inclusivity, regardless of what you or I believe. You always have the right to step on your yoga mat for safe, sacred and brave space. Come to your mat. Encounter rest. Leave refreshed.
