Hi,
My name is Angela Newman and I am the owner and Yoga teacher of Butterfly Yoga. I have been blessed to be able to teach Yoga in the gorgeous Great Hall of Timber Rock Lodge in Oneida, TN for 4 years this year!
The owners of the lodge, Ralph and Michelle Trieschmann have truly created something beautiful for the community. The lodge can be reserved for a variety of events including weddings and meetings, and they have lovely rooms that can accommodate guests who need a place to stay. It looks like it's straight out of a Hallmark movie. There's even a spa, The Skin Clinic 😍
I am so thankful for the opportunity to offer a chance to relax to the community or guests staying at the lodge. My goal in teaching is to provide a calming environment for whoever walks in😌 The movements that I teach are beginner friendly, but an hour long yoga class can be challenging if you don't have a regular exercise routine, meaning, you may get out of breath. It is ok, because we are all there to practice and improve, not judge, rest is encouraged! I have been practicing yoga for about 20 years now, but there is always room for growth. We all go through seasons and my practice has gaps in it and times I didn't do it a lot. Yoga meets you where you are and helps get you to where you want to go, one breath at a time.
Yoga has made a huge difference in my life. My mat was a safe space for me to be myself, to do what I could. Yoga can be a lot of movements and breathing to get the blood pumping and help you de-stress, it raises the blood pressure and the heart rate, but then it goes to slower movements and longer breaths to lower the blood pressure and heart rate back down. This teaches the nervous system and body how to regulate and function in a way to make you feel calmer and more relaxed in general.
✨Peace is not the absence of chaos, but rather finding yourself in the midst of chaos and remaining calm in your heart ✨
An appreciated side effect of this regular movement practice to release stress is you also develop strength, as yoga uses your own body weight to support you💪It was a huge boost in confidence to be able to hold plank (part of a series of flowing poses) for a long time after doing poses like Downward Dog, Upward Dog, and coming to stand in Mountain Pose. I want to share that feeling of being able to do something you couldn't do before because you worked at it!🦸♀️🦹♂️
I really hope you'll join me for classes like my Slow Flow class 🌬️ to de-stress from your work day or my Deep Stretch class 🧘 to compliment your already active lifestyle, to help improve your flexibility and mobility and reduce your joint and muscle pain! My Morning Flow class will also get your body warmed up for your day and improve your flexibility, mobility, and strength for whatever you have to do.
🎉Your FIRST class is FREE to see what you think! You also get a FREE class during your birthday month 🎂 Bring a friend and try it together 🧘🧘♀️ You won't regret taking time for yourself, everyone needs to fill their own cup before they can fill others 🥰
You will leave feeling Calm, Centered, and Confident. (Especially if you go to the spa before or after 😉)
I can't wait to see you! ❤️
