The practice of yoga began for me as a teenage girl. I spent many years after my first experience with yoga catching a class when I could, practicing at home when time was of the essence, & at times abandoning all but brief asanas all together. When I look back over the years, I realize how available yoga has always been to me, even a short practice had the capability of energizing me & awakening me to the limitless possibilities that life had to offer. My mat has become a place of precious solitude, where I can stretch & grow my body, my mind & connect to my soul. It has brought with it a tribe where I feel welcome without judgement or expectation to be anything other than who I am.. Yoga continues to empower me as an older woman, & I am moving into my latter years with joy, strength & looking at new horizons. My mat has been with me on beaches, in the forest, in RV's while it rained & many a hotel room. It has even come with me to hospice settings & hospital wards, giving me a few minutes break when I needed it in the visitors lounge.

     Yoga can help you in ways you never dreamed possible. It can help to restore function to your body, help to calm your mind. & relieve some of the tension that we all experience. Yoga can take you on a journey to explore yourself in new ways with each practice that you do. Yoga means "Yoking together" taking your breath & awareness to your body, where all three can meet together in unity. I would love to share the principles, asanas & joy that comes with developing a practice that can reach out to you where you are at in this moment in time.
