Connection, Belonging, & Community

Brené Brown defines connection as "the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship."

Since December 2020, I've been sharing online yoga classes as a way to offer resources and support during difficult times. I find the practices of moving, breathing, and meditating helpful for bringing balance into work, school, and day to day schedules. As a nurse and mother I understand the energy it takes to care for others. Over the years, I have found value in the wellness practices of reiki, yoga, and meditation as a necessity for prioritizing compassionate care to myself and continue to be a source of help to others. My experience practicing and teaching yoga is about connection, belonging, and community. It is an act of giving and receiving, holding space for others, encouraging slower paced movement options, quiet moments and rest.

It is my hope that you will continue to stay in touch as my classes shift and change as everything in life does. As the weather warms and my kids' activities increase, I feel it is important to transition my offerings outside, gathering safely for in-person classes. April will be the last month I offer weekly, live, online classes for a while. 

I will continue to record movement inspiration videos on my YouTube channel and guided meditations on Insight Timer.

Please join me for class this week where we will focus on stability through standing poses, adding in twists using blocks. 

My aim is to offer a dynamic yoga experience combining props and moving in different ways.
