You’ve seen them all over Instagram, in yoga studio advertisements, and in marketing campaigns for athletic wear…The super thin, young “yoga people” who wear cropped sports bras and leggings and who can put their legs behind their head and press into effortless handstands.

But don’t be fooled. Not everyone who practices yoga fits this image. And you don’t have to either.

Yoga is for any and all bodies who want to benefit from the practice. No handstands required. No mandatory cropped tops (thank God!) You don’t even have to be able to touch your toes. (I promise, no one checks.)

There are even styles of yoga that may not photograph as well but are deeply beneficial like restorative or yoga nidra that don’t require super arm strength or even flexibility.

So if the stress in your life is causing you to lose sleep or if you find yourself lost in a sea of constant racing thoughts about a conflict with a work colleague or the kids college funds or anxiety over an upcoming trip…yoga can help you reclaim steadiness.

Imagine actually feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep and forgoing that third cup of coffee because you just don’t need it. Or not losing your mind at the airport when the flight gets delayed or the Airbnb cancels on you at the last minute. Or actually being able to enjoy dinner with the family without worrying about work emails that really can wait until tomorrow. It’s possible.

And if you need help getting started (because who has time to figure this all out on their own?) I can help.

Another round of The Yoga-Curious Experience is coming later this month. It’s for people just like you who want to start a yoga practice but don’t know where to begin or are overwhelmed and intimidated by all of the options.

In 90 minutes, I’ll give you all the information I wish I had when I first started, saving you time, money, and mental energy so you can get to the good stuff faster.

There is a better way to begin and it’s coming soon. Comment CURIOUS and I’ll send you an invite.

I get it. Who wants to try something new when you feel like you’re going to suck at it? As adults we don’t want to feel stupid or like we don’t fit in. We’ve mastered many things in our lives and the thought of starting from scratch sends our anxiety into overdrive.

What if I embarrass myself? What if I can’t keep up? What if everyone knows that I’m new?

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Most people, when they start yoga, are lacking important context that would help quiet the anxiety that comes before starting something new.

That’s why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. Because everyone deserves access to the life-changing benefits of yoga, stress management techniques, increased mobility, less racing thoughts at 2:34 a.m. and more, without all of the worry that comes with starting something new.

In 90 minutes, you’ll know what to focus on in class and what to let go of before you ever roll out a mat. (So you don’t waste time and money chasing after shapes or worrying if your feet are in the right place.) And so you don’t waste years thinking you’re “bad” at it because you’re not.

You’ll know what yoga props are and how to use them to support your body. You’ll even know how to find a studio and teacher that feels like a good fit for you. And you’ll know the type of mindset to take into that first class so the impulse to compare and question yourself gets a bit quieter.

Starting yoga can be overwhelming and very confusing. But it doesn’t have to be.

Another online, live session of The Yoga-Curious Experience is coming in May and I’d love to have you join me. Comment CURIOUS for your invite.

There IS a better way to begin.

You don’t have to make the same mistake I did when I first started yoga.

Starting yoga is the hardest part. The options can be overwhelming and it’s so easy to focus on the wrong things or find yourself in a class that doesn’t fit where you are right now. That’s what I did.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. In just 90 minutes you can have access to all the information that I was missing when I first started.

In the workshop, I’ll explain the true purpose of the practice so you don’t beast yourself up for not being able to touch your toes or spend time worrying if you’re doing it “right.”

I’ll explain the various styles of yoga so you can make an informed decision on the style that best fits your body and goals.

We’ll talk about how to use props to support your practice and cover some basic modifications so the postures become more accessible to a wider range of bodies.

I’ll even explain how to evaluate a studio’s website so you know the type of environment you’re walking into before you ever book a class.

There’s even a sample practice so you can get a feel of what a class will be like in the privacy of your own home where no one is watching.

Another round of The Yoga-Curious Experience is coming later this month. I’d love for you to join me. Comment CURIOUS and I’ll add you to the waitlist.

I was dedicated, going to yoga classes 3 to 4 times a week for years. My arms and core were getting stronger. Postures that once felt impossible (hello Warrior III) started to feel somewhat manageable. And for an hour on my mat my mind was quieter.

But as soon as I left the yoga studio? It all came rushing back. The perfectionism. The anxiety, That constant feeling of being on edge.

I thought that I was doing something wrong. I started to wonder if yoga just wasn’t going to work for me. I felt like I was broken and beyond fixing.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that I wasn’t doing it wrong. I was just missing context.

No one had ever clearly explained what yoga was actually for so I focused on the wrong things like getting stronger, nailing postures, trying (and failing) to get into a handstand.

The actual practice, the one that helps you deal with your mind off your mat, was barely talked about.

And once I finally understood what yoga was really about? Everything shifted. I stopped chasing shapes and started paying attention. I started practicing presence not just on my mat but in my actual life. And that’s when the anxiety started to get a bit quieter. That’s when my need for perfection loosened.

But it shouldn’t take 10 years to learn what truly matters in yoga.

That’s why I created the Yoga-Curious Experience. In one 90 minute session, you’ll have access to the information most people never receive.

You’ll understand the history of the practice before you ever step foot into a studio. You’ll know what to focus on in class and what to let go of before you ever roll out a mat. So you don’t waste time and money chasing after shapes or worrying if your feet are in the right place. And so you don’t waste years thinking you’re the problem because you’re not.

Starting yoga can be overwhelming and very confusing. But it doesn’t have to be.

I live in a large metropolitan area in Florida. Out of curiosity, I searched for beginner’s yoga classes within a 30 miles of my house. And you know how many I found? Two. Out of over 25 yoga studios in my area, only two offered a specific beginner’s class.

And if you can’t make it on a Monday night from 7-8pm because that’s the time you’re putting the kids to bed or on a Saturday afternoon from 12-1pm because your son has baseball during that time? You’re basically out of luck.

So what do you do if you’re new to yoga and want a path into the practice that won’t send you to the chiropractor the next day?

Now, there were classes that I felt would be suitable for beginners. But how do you know which ones they are when they have names like Flow and Stretch and Hatha and Simply Yoga? (Honestly, I have no idea what Flow and Stretch or Simply Yoga even are and I’ve been practicing for over 15 years.)

I can help. This is one of the reasons why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. It’s designed for people just like you who want to start a yoga practice with a solid foundation of information before you ever book that first class.

In 90 minutes I’ll teach you what the various class styles actually mean so you get a sense of what style of yoga is best for your body and goals. I can tell you how to evaluate a studio’s website so you become familiar with the vibe and what type of student base to expect. I can talk you through the entire experience, from booking online, to walking in the front doors, to filling out new student paperwork, to where to put your shoes, to grabbing the right props to support your practice, to rolling up your mat at the end. And, most importantly, I can give you a brief history of yoga and explain what the practice is REALLY about so you don’t waste precious mental energy focusing on the wrong things.

Yoga helped me find peace from persistent anxiety and racing thoughts that kept me up most nights. And it can help you too.

But beginning is the hardest part. You don’t have to navigate this alone. There IS a better way to begin.

You lift weights 3 days a week. Maybe at the gym or at home with hand weights like I do. You’ve been lifting heavy and you’re seeing gains. You also have a strong cardio routine. But something might be missing…

What if I told you that yoga could actually help you see more progress and help prevent injury?

It’s true. Adding yoga, even just one day a week, to your routine can be a game changer. Why?

Yoga helps improve mobility and flexibility, increasing range of motion which means better form for those deep squats and overhead presses. And yoga helps counteract the stiffness that comes from weight training.

Yoga also helps relieve muscle soreness after a lifting session, increasing oxygen rich blood flow to those hard working muscles and helping to relieve the lactic acid build up.

Yoga is a great way to protect yourself from injury. Yoga improves joint stability and works to strengthen the supporting muscles around the joints. That means less strain placed on the body during lifting.

And yoga can help increase mental focus and motivation. Inconsistent about going to the gym? Yoga can help. Feeling burnt out or drained? Yep. Yoga. Trouble staying present during a workout. You guessed. it. Yoga.

Need some guidance getting started because you have enough on your plate worrying about how much to lift during your next strength routine? No problem. That’s what The Yoga-Curious Experience is for.

In one 90 minute session, I’ll break down everything you need to know about starting yoga so you don’t waste time and money on classes that aren’t really going to fit your goals.

Comment CURIOUS and I’ll show you how.

You’re working hard on yourself. Now’s the time to see the difference yoga can make in your fitness journey.

You finally made it to your first yoga class after three months of overthinking it. And you left with your confidence somewhere on the floor next to your mat.

You signed up for a flow class and expected some stretching and gentle movement. But what you experienced felt more like bootcamp complete with a nonstop string of pushups, planks, and squats. No other options were given. No explanation as to why you were doing any of it.

Halfway through, your shoulders started to ache and your thighs were screaming. You looked around the room and everyone else made it seem effortless while you were barely hanging on in the back, dripping with sweat.

Achy, exhausted, and feeling worse about yourself than when you walked in, you sat in your car and thought, “Is this what all yoga classes are like?”

No. Absolutely not.

But this is where so many people get it wrong. They assume they aren’t cut out for yoga when what they were actually missing was context.

You didn’t pick the wrong class because you failed. You picked the wrong class because nobody told you how to choose right one for your body and goals in the first place.

You needed to know how to look at a studio’s website and figure out if the vibe, the teachers, and the class offerings were right for you.

You needed to know what the practice is really about so you didn’t waste time chasing things that were never the point or second guessing yourself.

And you needed options. Real, usable modifications so you could make the practice work for your body instead of forcing your body to keep up.

Too many people have this exact experience. I know I did.

That’s why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. In one afternoon, I’ll give you the context most beginners never get so you can walk into your first (or next) class feeling informed, confident, and like you actually belong there.

She’d heard about all the benefits of yoga for years. Better sleep. Less tension. A quieter mind. So she tried a few classes and left every single one feeling worse about herself than when she walked in, not because yoga wasn’t for her but because nobody gave her the information she needed before she ever stepped onto a mat.

She didn’t know what style of class was right for her body. She didn’t know what to look for in a teacher. She didn’t know that the poses weren’t actually the point. So she did what most people do when something makes them feel stupid. She stopped going.

Eventually, she decided to try one more class. And this time, something clicked. Not because she suddenly became more flexible or “better” at yoga but because she finally had enough context to understand what she was doing and why.

Now she has everything she’s been missing. She knows what class style is right for where her body is right now. How to make the practice work for her body. And what yoga is actually designed to do, which is not make you flexible, though that happens too.

Now she loves her practice. She goes back almost every week. And those benefits she came for in the first place? She’s experiencing every single one of them.

So many people assume yoga “isn’t for them” when really they were just missing the information that would have made it make sense.

That’s exactly why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. So you don’t have to rely on luck or trial and error to figure this out.

In one afternoon, I’ll give you the context most beginners never get so you can walk into your first (or next) class feeling informed, confident, and like you actually belong there.

In fact, I’ll teach you exactly that in a single afternoon.

My 79 year old mom recently started yoga. She checks in with me after every class and I always ask if there was any mention of yoga philosophy. And her answer? Always a firm “no.”

Now, she understands what the practice is really about because I’m her daughter. But I can’t help thinking about all those other students.

I’m sure these teachers are great and my mom loves the physicality of the classes, but yoga is so much more than movement. And you don’t need to take a deep dive into yoga philosophy to gain some valuable and applicable context that can radically transform how you approach the practice.

I believe that people should have a solid understanding of what yoga is actually about before they ever take that first class. Why? Because it’s so easy to focus on and worry about the wrong things. I know I did for 10 years. It took going to teacher training for me to get the information I was missing.

But you don’t have to do that. You can start off knowing right away.

That’s why I created The Yoga-Curious Experience. Because we shouldn’t expect new yoga students to just figure it out on their own like I did. I wasted so much time worried if my knee was bent to 90 degrees in Warrior II or if my hips were level in Warrior III. And I beat myself up if I couldn’t do what the other students were doing.

But that doesn’t have to be your experience.

The best gift you can give yourself is information. I’ve collected all of the information you need to start off with the right context. And it’s not even a big time commitment.

In 90 minutes you’ll know the basic history of yoga and what the practice is really about. You’ll know what to expect at the first class, from booking online, to walking in the front door, to where to put your shoes and mat, so the “what if’s” get a bit quieter. You’ll also know how to find a studio and class that fits your body and goals.

Comment CURIOUS and I’ll add you to the waiting list for the next live session. You don’t have to guess your way through this. There IS a better way to begin.
