Class Content and Teaching Style

  

The essence of my practice and teaching is to help facilitate the experience of yoga; to be in that place of peace as much as I can, and to help others find it. Only when you're in your peace can you listen for inner guidance on what to do or not do, both on and off the mat, and then be clear enough, brave and willing enough to follow it. There's nothing more freeing than this.

Classes are held at Friends Church in College Station

The style of yoga I teach is Freedom Style, based on the work of Erich Schiffmann. Essentially it means finding your own style by going within yourself to find the perfect alignment in the pose, rather than always looking to someone else to dictate what your perfect alignment should be. It's about staying in the now moment, as it continually morphs, letting the living event of the yoga flow, rather than having it be pre-fabricated and pre-planned.

My classes begin and end with meditation, which is the foundation of the practice. Generally, my classes work toward a theme and the movements and poses we do are sequenced from this theme to open the areas in the body, as well as to counterpose the worked areas. All the poses we do in class will take the spine through its full ranges of motion and will incorporate balance, strength, and flexibility.

My classes are fun and playful; we laugh a lot and have a good time getting into the practice together.
