Maria is back with her Psoas Relief workshop, and if you’ve ever taken it before, we can’t recommend it enough. The Psoas is often called the “emotional muscle” because it stores so much of our stress and tension. Releasing it can ease the hips, the low back, deepen your breath, and leave you feeling lighter overall.

Maria will intelligently guide you through a series of poses and stretches will help offer you relief in both body and mind. There’s a reason she offers this more than once a year… we all tend to need it! (And space usually fills up quickly!)

Don’t miss this opportunity for relief.

The #1 “issue” I have been asked to address in my clients’ bodies over my 20 years of teaching is back pain. This workshop will give you the tools you need to create strength and flexibility in your back and to move with correct postural alignment on and off your mat.

Join Maria for ‘Fix Your Back’ — a workshop to stretch, strengthen, and support your spine so you can move with ease. This class will consist of a gentle flow and longer holds in some poses. Suitable for all levels!

Event Details:
When: Sunday, 8/24
Time: 1 -3:PM
Cost: $40

Need an emotional support Pilates Dog in your life? Archie has your back! Angie has been a client of mine for the past few years and I couldn’t be prouder of her perseverance and desire to stay as strong as possible while she navigates Huntington’s disease. Pilates is truly for everybody and I am so grateful that I get to play part in helping people tap into their strength, no matter their life circumstances.

This community has been a part of my life since I moved to TN 14 years ago. Walking in these doors to teach and to practice feels like walking into a second home. We would love for you to join our community and share the sacred practice of yoga with us. You can find me teaching here:
Tuesday Slow Flow 6 pm
Sat Flow 9:30 am, Pilates Mat 11 am
🧘‍♀️💕🧘

Why do we keep putting the emphasis on community at New Moon??

Because we believe this community is sangha.

‘Sangha means gathering, where everyone comes together, but they don’t come to gossip or chit-chat. They come together to share something deeper that they have inside of them.’ - Paramahamsa Vishwananda.

Although, we do in fact chit chat a bit as well bc we support and uplift each other along the way in this journey of yoga and life.

But it is the something deeper that unifies us.
This is Who We Are 🫶

Looking for your yoga community? Our doors are open daily and there is always space for another mat. ☺️

One of the top requests I got as a Yoga Teacher is to work on hips in my classes, so it got me thinking, what can we do to give ourselves happier hips? Join me in this workshop, where we will not only relieve the tightness in our hips, including the Psoas and piriformis, but we will also learn how to strengthen our hips to create more stability in our bodies overall. This class will include dynamic movement mixed in with longer holds to facilitate the opening and create long lasting results. I’m offering it twice in the next week. The first opportunity is at on Sunday, April 6th 1-3 pm and the second is at .franklin on Saturday April 12th 1:30-3:30 pm. Message me for details on how to register for either.
