Did you hear?! Anderson Japanese Gardens was voted by HGTV as the TOP garden to visit in Illinois on their “Most Beautiful Garden in Every State list! How cool (and well deserved!) is that?

There is still time in the season to join me for a yoga class in the beautiful outdoor pavilion! The weather has been pretty amazing this season for outdoor yoga. But if it’s a chilly morning there’s overhead heaters I can turn on!

Here’s the class details. There’s only 2 session dates left of the season!

9-10am All-levels, a Hatha based practice
10:30-11:30am, gentle chair yoga

$12 to drop into class

Please bring a yoga mat and any yoga props that you like to use for your practice. Chairs are provided for the gentle chair yoga class.

Hope to see you there!

I’m making room in my online shop for Autumn/Winter inventory so ALL of my homemade cold processed soap is marked down to only $4 on my website!

Each soap is carefully handmade in small batches using the traditional cold process method. The small imperfections and subtle size variations you might notice are a testament to their authentic handmade nature. Lightly scented with thoughtfully chosen natural ingredients, they provide a gentle and nourishing experience for your skin. Each bar is crafted with great care and passion, created especially for your everyday enjoyment and self-care.

I teach my classes in the Hatha Yoga tradition. Hatha Yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. Through practice, we develop a balance of strength and flexibility in our physical bodies and in our minds by learning to balance our efforts and surrender into each pose.Hatha is also translated as “ha”, sun-and “tha” meaning moon. This refers to the balance of masculine aspect-the active hot sun-and feminine aspect-the receptive and cool moon-within all us.

In addition to Hatha, I take inspiration from Restorative Yoga in designing my classes. In my classes, we hold poses for several breaths to allow you to settle into each pose and express your best self in the pose. Then, slowly, we move fluidly into the next pose to allow proper foundation and alignment. Variations in poses are always offered, and students are always encouraged throughout class to move at their own pace in a non-competitive environment.

In my classes I strive to create a welcoming, calming, relaxing, and fun environment. You can expect an ever-changing practice along with pranayama and meditation techniques, hand mudras, and a healthy dose of encouragement. I hope you consider coming to my classes so I can share the benefits of incorporating yoga into your life. Yoga has enriched my life, and I would like to help you experience the same!

Hatha yoga schedule:

Monday: Anderson Japanese Gardens 9-10am.

Thursdays: Womanspace of Rockford, Illinois. 10-11am.
