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.

Mindfulness series are offered throughout the year to assist you with the skills necessary to live the life you desire. From gentle movement to guided meditation, participants will learn new techniques to help them live in the present with awareness.

Stay Healthy Naturally
Yoga is a complicated practice with so many valued components ~ the physical practice ~ meditation & mindfulness ~ right living to mention a few. Part of taking care of the body we inhabit is by using all natural ingredients in what we use on and around the body, as well as in what we consume.

Gravity Yoga
Quote of the Week
Weekly Classes
Gravity Yoga is targeted mobility training that involves long-hold stretches. Poses are practiced completely relaxed, passively, so gravity does most of the work - hence the name. The practice is meant to supplement, not replace, other forms of yoga or exercise.
3 Principles of Gravity Yoga
• Wet Noodle. The intention is to relax into the stretch as much as possible. In some poses, that means total release. In other poses, it means to use as little muscular energy as possible to stay in the position.
• 4:8 Breathing. By slowing the rate of breathing to three (or less) breaths per minute and by extending the length of the exhale, it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, turns off the stretch reflex, and creates a simple point of focus during the long challenging postures.
• Meet or Beat your Hold Time. You body will always trend toward inertia, so the stopwatch is a way to measure, match, and eventually exceed your previous results. For flexibility results, the amount of time under passive tension is the key factor, so stretch times cannot be random or intuitive.

Aromatherapy!
I am currently working toward becoming a certified aromatherapist.
Being a part of the wellness community, beekeeping, my own aging, and the current reality of a covid world have all inspired me to focus on using and sharing natural products for the body and home.
As I often do, I jumped right in - armed with a little information and a lot of passion. Over time I realized there was so much I needed to know, so I've enrolled in a program and am loving learning so many new things. This will allow me to improve the quality of my own life as well as the lives of all those who might be seeking a safe, natural way to better health with essential oils and natural products.
See more below.

I've been mixing these and more using natural ingredients and essential oils.
As I continue my aromatherapy studies I will be available to work with you individually to determine what you need for a healthier lifestyle and how I can help.
If you're interested in learning more or would like to book a session with me to meet your unique needs please reach out to me using the contact information at the bottom of the page.
