“The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible or standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is to create space where you were once stuck. To unveil layers of protection you’ve built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and the noise it creates. To make peace with who you are. The goal is to love,…well, you. Shift your focus and your heart will grow.” ~Rachel Brathen
I believe yoga should be accessible to everyone regardless of age, experience or flexibility. My classes are small, gentle, trauma-informed, and personalized with a focus on stretching, strengthening, breathing and being.
I also offer Shamanic Yoga Classes. What is Shamanic Yoga, you might be wondering? It’s very similar to my usual gentle yoga class with breathing, being, stretching & strengthening with some wonderful additions…Enjoy and ground as I drum for you, and maybe even sing a healing Indigenous song! Learn how to honour the Four Directions and the Elements (earth, water, fire and air) and move from your head to your heart where you will find more peace, balance and strength.
Classes are offered during the day, evenings and weekends. Sessions range from four to eight weeks in length and the investment is $20 per small, personalized 60-minute class.
Please contact me to try a class or join a session.
Corporate and special event yoga available upon request.
