Yoga

Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures, breathwork, and mindfulness to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can improve flexibility, strength, balance, and stress relief while fostering a deeper connection with yourself.

Not at all! Yoga meets you where you are. Flexibility improves with regular practice, but the focus is on how you feel in the poses, not how you look.

I teach a variety of yoga styles, each with its own unique focus and benefits. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand the differences and choose the one that suits your needs:

• Vinyasa Yoga: A dynamic, flowing style that links movement with breath. It’s great for building strength, improving flexibility, and fostering a moving meditation. Perfect if you’re looking for an energizing practice that keeps you engaged.
• Rocket Yoga: A playful and fast-paced style inspired by Ashtanga yoga. It includes inversions, arm balances, and creative sequencing. Rocket is ideal for those who enjoy a physical challenge and want to push their boundaries.
• Yin Yoga: A slow, meditative practice where poses are held for several minutes to target deep connective tissues. It’s excellent for improving flexibility, releasing tension, and cultivating a calm, introspective state of mind.
• Mindful Flow: A gentle and intentional practice that emphasizes mindfulness and connection to breath. It’s perfect for those who want to move with purpose and find balance between activity and relaxation.
• Restorative Yoga: A deeply relaxing practice that uses props to support the body in passive poses. It’s perfect for stress relief, recovery, and calming the nervous system. Think of it as a reset for your mind and body.
• Pre & Post Natal Yoga: Designed specifically for women during pregnancy and postpartum, these sessions support physical and emotional well-being. They include gentle movements, breathwork, and relaxation techniques to help you stay strong and centered during this transformative time.

The right style depends on your goals, energy levels, and experience. If you're unsure, start by considering what your body and mind need: something active, calming, or tailored to a specific phase of life.

If you're still unsure, feel free to reach out, and I’ll help you find the perfect fit!

Absolutely! Mixing styles can provide a more holistic practice. For instance, you might enjoy an active Vinyasa or Rocket session some days and balance it with a calming Yin or Restorative class on others.

This depends on your schedule and goals, but even one session a week can make a difference. Consistency is key, so find a frequency that works for you.

Here are some general recommendations to help you feel comfortable and make the most of your practice:

What to Wear: Choose comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows you to move freely. For most styles, fitted activewear works best so you don’t have to adjust during poses. Layers are a good idea for slower practices like Yin or Restorative, as you might get cooler during stillness.

Eating Before Class: Avoid heavy meals 1-2 hours before class. Yoga involves movement, twists, and inversions, so a full stomach might be uncomfortable. A light snack like fruit or nuts is fine if you’re hungry.

Hydration: Drink water before and after class to stay hydrated. During class, especially in more active styles like Vinyasa or Rocket, you can sip water if needed.

Mental Preparation: Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and center yourself. This gives you time to relax, set an intention for the class, and avoid feeling rushed.
