Yoga
This weekly yoga class is a collaborative effort between myself and you—our growing yoga community—to share the healing power of yoga with more people. Weekly classes will have a very minimal cost to register, so more people in our community can take part and experience the benefits of yoga.
Although weekly yoga classes take place in my home studio in South Elgin, you are also able to join us virtually. With the virtual option you can join us while we practice live or receive the recorded session to practice later in the week at your convenience.
Working Together
Our goal is to keep yoga accessible while honoring the time, care, and training of the teacher. Classes are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, with all earnings supporting the instructor directly.
​
While a typical yoga class costs around $20, we invite you to choose an amount that feels sustainable for you. The base price is $5, with optional add-ons available at checkout if you’d like to contribute more. Every contribution helps make this offering possible.
Yoga Means Union
Yoga is about connection. Each of our weekly classes will be an opportunity to connect with your body through your breath. When you take the time to slow down and be present many healing opportunities are presented and you will be supported on your journey as you learn to be present with yourself.
Joint Strength and Stability with Flexibility.
Many people think that yoga is only for flexible people and others think that yoga is just meditation and stretching. I can tell you that neither mindset is accurate. Each class will have you focused on finding stability and proper movement for safety of all of your joints along with strengthening of the supporting structures while you also learn how to find, lengthen and balance out muscle tension through the breath.
Slow and Solid
Have you ever been in a yoga class and felt rushed into and out of poses? Me too and I don't enjoy it. Here you will be guided to follow your body and breath. At any point you should feel welcome to stay in a pose longer or repeat it if that's what your body wants. In addition, you are encouraged to bring a sheet of paper and a pencil to jot down a few notes or stick figure poses to remember for your home practice later. It is all about you having time for you.
Variety, Peace and Presence
Those are three things I guarantee you will find in each session. Although you will become familiar with a basic framework to the sessions each one will feature new asanas, self-help techniques and ways of looking inward to continue working toward healing with your body.
