Take a Yoga Class!
Monday Nights, #V4V yoga is live on Nostr!
#Yogastr is live on Nostr client HiveTalk at 5:00 PM MST.
The class has a beginner vibe and all you have to do is bring yourself, a mat, water, and a towel or blanket. If you have yoga props, bring 'em!

Common misconceptions about yoga:
🕉️ You don't have to "be flexible" to do yoga or benefit from it
🕉️ You also don't need to "be coordinated!"
🕉️ Sometimes people say to me, "I can't do yoga." I'm here to empower you to do yoga if you want to!
It's my job as your yoga teacher to meet you where you're at to ensure you get to have the yoga practice you want and need.
The kind of yoga teacher I am... Here are my core beliefs:
🪷 Yoga isn't "exercise" and I'm not here to give you a "Kardashian butt." 🍑 I'm not sorry, but yoga is for an inner transformation first. If you want a workout, go to the gym.
🪷 It's always going to be traditions over trends with me. No gimmicks. No pink-Stanley-cup-chasing shenanigans. No TikTok trendy yoga pants. No goats. There are, however, two bengal cats who barge into my online classes.
🪷 My yoga classes are sober-friendly; I discourage "wine yoga" and that sort of "mommy wine culture." I've been sober since 2013 and have mastered being able to handle life's ups and downs without mind-altering substances. I use the tools yoga, meditation, and Reiki offer. I'll help you do the same.
🪷 I want to give you instruction that turns the light on for you. I want to give you useful nuggets you can take into your personal practice that will keep you practicing yoga safely for the rest of your life.
Book a Private Yoga Session Online
I offer private yoga instruction online. I can work with whatever props you do have where you are. The cost of the session is $59. You can save by having a friend join you and split the cost.
Talk with me first to share your concerns, goals, injuries, and personal information so that I can create a personalized practice for you.

I'm here to help you choose life with the nurturing, challenging, and ultimately healing path of yoga.
I've been sober since 7-1-13 and worked for 4.5 years in the addiction field. I've seen a LOT. It's my personal view that yoga gives us an endlessly available set of tools to help us live full lives in sobriety. 💚

About Me as a Yoga Teacher:
I've been practicing yoga since 1996 through all seasons of life (so far). Through a hard youth, addiction, joy, grief, several stressful careers, a midlife diagnosis of asthma, and through every twist and turn a spine with scoliosis could produce—yoga was there.
I could start with a photo of me posing as a yogi in some gorgeous pretzel pose, but I won't. My RYT-200 was earned through the pandemic—I was working a stressful broadcast news career when I signed up. Then a bunch of people I cared about died (one even took his own life) and I began to get sicker and sicker. I finally got "it" 6 days after finding out an unknown "asthma" was making me sick. Western Medicine had failed me.
There's no reason I should still be here.
But I can say that about so many things I've survived.
Much of my yoga teacher training began off the mat. I also veered off course into meditation teacher training (because of or despite my physical state). It became a 3-year yoga teacher training path and I'm so glad!
Looking back, perhaps this was the only way to bring me to the transformation I'd kept fighting. ✨
