Uniting Mind, Body, and Soul
About Us
Yoga for Everyone
Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes health and well being. Regular practice will help you reach improve and perfect poses, correct posture and positioning, and improve your breathing and outlook on life.
Enhance Your Wellness
Yoga is a great way to improve your endurance in other physical activities. After a run, or heavy workout, yoga will help your body relax while stretching, strengthening, and lengthening the muscles you were just working on.
Calm Your Mind
Yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and meditation. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself and get clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is key to staying in tune with your mind and body.

Quote of the Week
“We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves.”
~Andy Goldsworthy
Photo of the Week
The deer return as the apples drop from the trees. What a treat it is to have them join us in the backyard each evening, sharing the land and the bounty it brings.
TRAPEZE YOGA
I am now booking trapeze yoga sessions for Wednesdays and Saturdays. The trapeze is a fun and challenging way to increase grip strength, flexibility and core strength.
The trapeze also provides traction to relieve back pain or discomfort.
Book through the website or contact me to schedule your next session.
Weekly Themes
Thinking about the Goldsworthy quote of the week, I know that I often do recognize that I am nature. What I sometimes forget is the importance of that and thus get led astray from a connection with the natural world around me. In this day it is easy to get caught up in the unnatural world of technology. I hear many people talk about quitting social media because it is not serving them well.
I remember my beautiful grandmother often saying “all things in moderation”. I am not sure that we need to quit something forever, but rather we need to find the balance between the natural and the unnatural. When we are weighted too heavily on one side we are likely to feel lost or disconnected. When I spend too much time reading and responding to work email in front of a computer I begin to feel stressed and foggy in the brain. Being aware of my physical reactions to technology reminds me of the imbalance and provides me with the opportunity to choose to reconnect with nature and my natural self.
Some Taoist texts claim that when human nature is aligned with the rest of nature, order and harmony are the result. When we are aware of our ‘misalignment’ with the natural world and consciously choose to realign we are bringing ourselves our true nature. By choosing to be in balance we are making choices that will serve us well.
