In my eyes it is all yoga...yoga is a lifestyle, it is how we treat ourselves and how we treat others...it is a PRACTICE. Some days yoga for me is sitting or even laying on my mat and not moving but exploring the rise and fall of my breath, other days I crank the music and let inspiration guide the flow, and somedays I am completely blown away by the strength of the spine. No matter what, yoga meets me where I am minute by minute, day by day....I have so much love for this evolving practice!!!
I have been practicing yoga since 2001 and got my 200 YTT and 500 YTT from Gaea Yoga Center. I also hold additional trainings in 100hours YIN training, 50hours of Grounded (Pelvic and Spinal Stability), OFF the MAT training with Sean Corn, Many trainings on Race and Resilience with Kerri Kelly and Michelle Cassandra Johnson, in community with CTZN Well and currently working on a 75 hour training through Skill in Action which bridges the intersection of social justice and yoga. I will always consider myself a student and absolutely love learning about the philosophy and history of yoga, asana and how yoga relates to ever evolving world!
PRIVATE AND GROUP YOGA
Having being trained in many different forms of yoga: Ashtanga, Vinyasa Power Flow, Yin, Pelvic and Spinal stability…my clients are able to choose the type of yoga that their bodies need each week. I bring the studio to you: mats, blocks, bolsters, straps and set the tone with music, incense and essential oils. Evolve offers private (1:1) and group (up to 10 people) sessions.
POUR HOUSE YOGA
DATE: SUNDAY 9:30AM | LOCATION: THE POUR HOUSE | COST: $10
Every Sunday we gather as a community on the Pour House's Outside Deck to practice yoga. This is not your typical yoga class because this amazing space is not your typical place. So much creativity flows off this deck in the form of song, music, and dance....we as yogis contribute to this creativity each week!! Each class interweaves the importance of social justice and equality, and how this effects our planet as a whole.
The class is based on "Freedom" style yoga, which originates from one of my teachers, Erich Schiffmann. For the first 40 minutes of class, I will guide you through an all levels class, after 40 minutes, we crank the music for about 5 minutes and practice as a community. This can be very powerful because we as humans are being guided from within, we are letting our creative expression soar on the yoga mat. Some days it can turn into a full on dance party and others we lay on our mats in awe of the pecan tree above. After the 5 minutes, I ground you and send you into community! The Sunday Brunch Farmers Market starts at 11am in the back lot…stay for breakfast, explore the many local farmers and artisans from our creative community!
