Hello!
I have some exciting news for you all! Starting July 8th, my classes are moving to Bridge Studio at Art of Awareness just over the bridge in South Portland! This will change a lot of things so please keep reading for more info.
On July 8th, weekly classes will be at Bridge Studio. They will be on Thursdays at 5:15-6:30. If you have taken class with me recently, then you can expect pretty much the same thing. If you haven't, expect something a little different. I'm calling these classes Yinergy: A melding of yin, energy medicine, pranayama, meditation, and sound healing.
Experience the slow pace of Yin infused with Energy Medicine Yoga focussing on the meridian system of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This will include self acupressure, meridian tracing, and self massage. Classes will include some breathwork, meditation, and an extended Savasana with a Gong Bath.
Memberships will be changing as well. I will no longer be offering live zoom classes in addition to these in studio classes but the playback videos will be available to monthly members. Membership pricing will change as well. To practice in person at the studio, you will need to sign up via Bridge Studio's website here:
https://www.artofawareness.org/bridg.../classschedulesignup/ Class fees will be $15 for a drop in or you may purchase a class pass. To have access to playback videos you will need to be a member on my website. Memberships include the prerecorded class videos only and will be pay-what-you-can. If you are a current auto enroll member I will be cancelling your invoices for the month of July. You will need to re-sign up. I will update the website with this info as soon as possible. 🙂
Please note that in person classes at Bridge will have a very limited amount of spaces. To maintain social distancing we will have 8 students per class. You will need to sign up in advance in order to hold a spot. June classes will continue on as usual.
See the images below for more info. Please reach out with any questions.
I look forward to practicing with you!

We are approaching April and grounding more fully into Spring. For yoga this month we will use Energy Medicine Yoga and Yin to explore the element of Spring, which is Wood. The organs of Wood are liver and gallbladder and the emotion is anger. I'm looking forward to digging into these practices with you!

If you would like to sign up for or renew your monthly membership please do so by 3/31 if at all possible. This membership is pay what you can (if you can’t afford to pay anything at this time, that is ok, please join us anyway!) and includes live classes on Tuesdays 5-6:15pm as well as the ability to practice on your own whenever that works for you with the playback videos. As of this writing, we have 26 class videos available for on demand access any time you’d like. Most are full length, about 75 minutes long. One is a 2 hour workshop, and 5 are short practices. Each week, at least one new video is added.

For the month of April, 10% of all yoga income will be donated to Portland Trails. Find out more about this organization here: https://trails.org

Well Within yogis are donating to Reversing Structural Racism in Maine for the month of March. Their mission, “The goal of this RSR is to help participants develop this understanding to effectively take action. To show that there are opportunities to connect with experts to dissect the mental, social, educational, workplace, legal, and other forms of structural racial inequality. Every piece to the puzzle will create a mental map to lead us to the treasure which is full equality, peace and justice.”

Please head over and check this organization out and support this important work.

It’s official! I am now a certified teacher! Read on below for how I’m teaching these days. March is on the horizon and you could join our community for weekly live zoom classes and prerecorded classes to access any time you want. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

My teaching style has changed quite a lot over the past year. Though I have received extensive training in Kundalini Yoga, I decided to focus on other styles of yoga in early 2020 after learning that the founder of Kundalini Yoga was abusive to his individual students and to the community in general, and that he may have completely made up some/many of the practices he taught.

I am now certified in Energy Medicine Yoga which is based on the teachings of Donna Eden and I’m currently studying Yin and Chinese Medicine for yoga. I have training in trauma sensitivity and body positive yoga. Always studying, I’ve embarked on some serious self-study on cultural appropriation. I’m working to incorporate these learnings into my teaching. Im offering weekly online classes via Zoom and provide recordings to students who would like to practice on their own when it is convenient for them.

I am committed to making yoga accessible to all and use a pay-what-you-can business model for classes. What can you expect? Gentle to moderate classes, and lots of pranayama. Every class is different. Some are very slow and meditative, others are a bit more active. If you would like to try one of my prerecorded classes before joining, please reach out and I would be happy to send one to you.

This makes me so happy! It’s worth the work to learn not only how to set boundaries but to listen to our bodies and understand what kind of boundaries we need.
