I'm beginning a new session of Hatha Yoga classes starting this weekend in Clearwater and next week in Pilot Mound and Crystal City. I'm so excited to be able to offer these wonderful practices in my community again! I'll be running all three classes through Louise Recreation but drop in attendance is also welcome. Please feel free to message or email if you have any questions!

The classes I lead are always fairly gentle and slow, fine for all skill levels and with plenty of options for regressing or progressing poses depending on your needs. We'll begin our classes with a short meditation or breathwork practice to ease you into a focused, nourishing practice.

Please come in comfy clothes, with a yoga mat, water and any other props you'd like for a comfortable practice. I have a few extra, but it's always best if you bring what you'd like for your practice. I hope to see you on the mat soon!

Hi guys! The roads aren't great and the power is out, so unfortunately we need to cancel for tonight. So sorry everyone!

04/05/2023

Such a storm raging outside! I'm going to have to cancel yoga this evening. Stay safe out there!

03/08/2023

Hi everyone! We've got a new session of Adult Gentle Yoga starting tonight at 7pm at the Friendship Center in Crystal City. If you'd like to try out yoga, or my teaching style, you can join in your first class for free!

Please bring a mat and anything else you need to feel comfortable, and wear comfy clothes!

Cost is $60 for 6 weeks (running until April 12) or $13 drop in.

I hope to see you there!

It's almost spring! I love winter, but find this last stretch very taxing. I find my body often manifests this: in a cold, fatigue, sluggishness..

I find it best not to push myself in these times. Just acknowledging what is and flowing with the season. For me this means a week off (pre planned but so well timed!), epsom salt baths followed by body oiling, congee, reading, tea, meditation and softer practices.

I'll be posting about my spring class schedule tomorrow. I hope current students are enjoying a break this week, and not missing our practice time too much!

It's Wednesday! That means hatha yoga at 7pm at the Friendship Center in Crystal City. This is the start of our winter session, running 6 weeks, until Feb 22, which I host in partnership with Louise Recreation,the cost is $60 for 6 weeks or $13 drop-in per class. Please bring a yoga mat, wear comfy clothing and bring whatever props (blanket, blocks, straps etc) you would like to feel comfortable in your practice. I hope you'll join us! As always, please feel free to share or forward this on to anyone you think might be interested.

Hi everyone! Tonight is our make up class from that mid-December storm. Drop ins are also welcome and are $13! WE'RE SWITCHING LOCATIONS! We'll be practicing at the Friendship Center from now on, beginning tonight. I'll have a sign on the hall door just in case. Spread the word! I hope to see you later!

Happiest of (Gregorian) new years yogis! I'm wishing you a peaceful, aligned and grounded start to 2023. To that end, and to express my sincerest gratitude for all your support in 2022, I'm offering a FREE drop in yoga class this Wednesday evening, January 4, at 7 pm at the hall in Crystal City. This will be a gentle class that will include a meditation, gentle stretching and some poses specifically for groundedness. Please pass this along to anyone you think might be into this offering! I'd love to see you there.
