Forward Motion Yoga

My mission as a yoga teacher is to guide others toward finding more ease in their daily lives, by leading joyful, fun, intelligently-designed yoga classes, while embodying unconditional love and connection.I took my first yoga class several years ago. As soon as I started, I was hooked, and started practicing yoga regularly. I was originally looking for a new form of exercise to complement my other physical activities, but as my knowledge and experience with yoga grew, the net of what I was taking away from the classes changed. Yoga reconnected me to my inner self, and also to the joy of of movement directed by breath. Through yoga, I also rediscovered my love of human anatomy, and reveled in the extraordinary sense of calm and inner balance that is achieved when the body is properly aligned.I try to create classes that include elements of fun, with themes that are relevant to and supportive of my students’ lives outside the studio. I firmly believe that yoga can be safe and accessible for all body types and levels of ability – we are all distinct, and in that individuality, we are all glorious.
