I am Not Your Average Yoga Teacher, because my classes are different and are relatable to real life challenges of urban living. I am trained in Trauma-Informed Yoga; Trauma-informed Yoga is focused on the well-being of the entire person. With the understanding that everyone’s trauma is different and cannot be measured or compared to another. The definition that I use for Trauma is- ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT FEEL GOOD TO YOUR BODY. I graduated from 4 Corners Yoga & Wellness June 2017 with a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate, in November 2020 I completed a 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training from Sacred Seeds Yoga School and in June 2021 I graduated from Yoga Liberation Front 500 hours Yoga Teacher Training. 1000 of crying, stretching and making space in my body and mind for the goodness that was waiting for me. I had to confront my fears and feel myself through the uncomfortable times in my life that I had hidden from myself. Yoga means to “Yoke” or “Connect” you to you, you to everything and you to the Universe and all that comes with it. In my sessions I encourage talking, laughing and expressing how you are feeling at the current moment, (being present). I also focus on breathwork, the art of breathing, as sometimes WE forget to breathe and the majority of people are shallow breathers, only using 25% of the lungs’ capacity. The asanas (poses) can be done on a mat or on a chair. Age, flexibility or experience is not a factor. I want people to start when they are NOT ready. Yoga in the urban community is needed. It is proven that by practicing Yoga reduces high blood pressure, stress and other under laying illnesses that are the results of living under constant stress (or simmer as I like to call it). Yoga is not just for women, I encourage men to participate as it is beneficial to them as well. Yoga is for EVERYONE! No matter your size, I highly encourage larger bodied people to practice! I am a larger bodied person and I practice Yoga EVERYDAY! Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years by people of all ages. We will explore the different types of Yoga and make it your own personal practice. You will see results while doing Yoga, but remember progression is key, slow and steady wins the race. We move so fast in today’s society, and your EGO is in the driver’s seat. Yoga makes you “take a minute to smell the roses.”
