What to expect during class:
We usually begin with a little loosely structured movement to shift some energy and a brief, quiet pause to settle, center, and transition into practice. Then we do some stretching and warming up postures (often lying or seated) and work up to a short standing flow followed by a few minutes to wind down and rest. Movement proceeds slowly, builds gradually, and includes moments of stillness.
There's room to explore and make the practice your own. Choose your own challenge. Dial it up or tone it down. Everything is optional—try what you like, skip what you don't.
Before and After:
If you join class early, you'll be brought to a Zoom waiting room until 9:30 when I open the meeting and we get started. I stick around for a few minutes after the 45 minute practice to say hello, answer questions, and chat. You're welcome to unmute and stay for that or sign off and get on with your day. Either is a-okay.
Who it's for:
This class is for anyone—beginner to longtime practitioner. It's about presence, not performance or achievement. Emphasis is placed on mindfulness and personal autonomy. Listen to your body and heart. It's your practice.
*When joining a Zoom session it's your choice! You can have your video on or off. Whatever feels most comfortable to you. You can pin my video in order to have a visual to follow. I give verbal cues while demonstrating the physical poses on offer.

Thank you!
It's recommended that you consult a physician regarding the applicability of any recommendations and follow all safety instructions before beginning any movement practice. When participating in any movement practice, there is the possibility of physical injury. By engaging in this movement practice, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, and assume all risk of injury to yourself.
My hope is to provide a comfortable place for you to move and be without judgement. I guide you through a sequence of movement, breath work, and meditation. Do as much or as little as you like. You'll often be presented with a variety of options to choose from and given time to explore those options. Expect plenty of reminders to notice how you're feeling in the moment as well as encouragement to choose how to adapt your practice to best suit you. Sprinkled throughout are bits of yoga philosophy designed to reconnect with the core of human values where we find compassion, love, and joy. Sessions provide opportunities to focus, challenge yourself, get playful and creative, and rest.
Please move at your own pace, decide for yourself what to try and what to skip. Prioritize taking care of yourself.
