Notices
Learn to calm your mind, feel less stressed and more focused on your goals. Gain confidence, strength, flexibility, and an overall awareness of the mind, body, spirit connection. Learn to be curious and compassionate, and to be gentle with yourself. Have some fun and maybe even do a handstand or two!
The practice of yoga leads us to be more positive, compassionate human beings. We learn to be centered and calm even when faced with challenges and distraction. I have been deeply enriched with my discovery of yoga, and love to share my enthusiasm through teaching and learning.
Please always remember your presence is important to each and every one of us, so keep showing up and always be present. You matter!
