Hey Friends
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, and I am feeling more focused and ready to get back into teaching classes and helping people find ways to slowdown and find peace and balance in their lives.

These last few months have taught me new lessons (really just things that have finally clicked in my brain). The things that are out of my control have been consuming me and serving no purpose. By surrendering to the unknowns, the slight inconveniences, the differences of opinions, I have released the stress and agitation and can now focus my energy on being a better version of myself and making a difference how and where I can.

With that I will be looking for teaching opportunities and start posting more on this page again.

Want to improve your wellbeing but not sure how? Maybe I can help…

As a yoga teacher i have worked with dozens of folks who have been in need of pain management, stress reduction, self-care, and nervous system regulation after major surgery and recovery. Yes, a Yoga teacher can help you with these things.

I will also be sure to tell you that you must be cleared by your doctor, that I don’t have a medical background and cannot diagnose or treat anything. What I aim to do is help support you and provide you with accessible movement, relaxation, breathwork, to help support you where you are on that particular day.

My goal is to help you feel your best with the tools and techniques I have to offer. 💕

Hey Friends!

At this time I have decided to not teach any group classes (aside from private events, special events, pop-up classes, and fundraisers).

With the goal of always meeting people where they are on any given day, I am opening my schedule to private clients. This can be 30 or 60 minute sessions in your home. (I do not have a space of my own to offer.)

My teaching strengths include helping people with:
✅ Balance/Stabilty
✅ Mobility (moving your joints which also works the muscles)
✅ Relaxation/Grounding/Regulation Techniques

If your goals are superficial (muscle, toning, weight loss) or you desire a more powerful and physically demanding yoga practice, I am not the right teacher for you.

Side Note: Often times people actually need physical therapy or have other needs which they do not realize. There have been times where I’ve strongly advised people to see a doctor or try a Pilates reformer class. Other times people need a personal trainer which I am not.

Please call me at 614-361-3899 to schedule a session or to discuss your needs. Currently I have morning and late afternoon/evenings available.

Hey Folks! A few people have asked about current classes.

Right now I am not offering any weekly classes due to not having my own space, as well as, vacation schedules.

I’m hoping to offer a few pop-up classes (possibly outdoor sessions) this summer.

Keep an eye out for “pop-up” classes.

If you’d like to book a private session on your own or with a group, please contact me at 614-361-3899.

This evening, our Gentle Yoga class will be more a of mindful movement with focus on our joints and the importance of bringing movement to our joints.

Below is an article on why exercise is important for those with arthritis and a good portion of the topics focus on the joints.

Staying physically active has numerous benefits for both your overall health and your joints affected by arthritis.

I have been having a mental debate on whether to continue teaching Yoga on a regular basis. There are many reasons for my uncertainty. It’s very important for me to teach with authenticity and for the reasons I began; to help support others in slowing down and self-regulating. Sometimes I feel far from doing that in my classes and in my daily life.

The studio where we are currently holding class is very busy with dance classes going on, but it is a great space and welcoming environment. Another but…. the noise level often distracts me as I try to remember all the movements I want to cover, how I cue, and come acrosss in my teaching. It’s taken a few weeks for all of us to adjustst to the new environment.

For this reason, I set specific intentions of releasing and slowing down during tonight’s class. We didn’t even cover many of the flowing movements I had planned for (not that anyone else would have known). This slowing down made me realize at the end of the class that the external noise was nearly eliminated from my mind.

Slowing down helps us quiet the noise in our environment and in our minds….

And THAT is why I teach Yoga.

Growth can happen at any age and any stage in life. Look to nature and you will see this is true.

Saturday selfcare for my mental health - While my mental health is good today, I am home alone for a few hours, and that makes it challenging for me to focus my brain. Having time to myself on a weekend makes me want to go a dozen different directions. My mental todo list is ridiculously scattered with cleaning, working out, wanting to spend time in nature, the dog needs walked, maybe I should run errands, I really want to binge watch something good…..

How can I balance all chaos? By slowing down, setting a timer for 10 minutes, and choosing (to move my body mindfully for that time). The house was calm, and quiet (no music, tv, dishwasher, laundry machine to grab my mind back to the to-want/do list). Also I had on a face mask which required 10-15 minutes 😃

And now back to deciding how else to make the most of my day (or not).
