Welcome to your yoga journey! I've created this meetup group for those interested in yoga, whether you are a yoga enthusiast , beginner , senior , disabled or someone who wants to grow with their current practice. Yoga brings tremendous personal health benefits. Those who practice it will improve their physical strength as well as attain mental clarity. My belief is that anyone can do yoga!
I teach a fusion of traditional vinyasa flow and core strength fitness yoga for a more physical workout, focusing on overall wellness which can be adapted for any shape, size and age. Postures are modified to accommodate those with physical ailments and focus on individual’s needs.
I also teach gentle restorative yoga , bringing the healing benefits of yoga to those who have been unable to take part in a routine class setting, such as senior citizens or the disabled. In this class, we will work from chairs, the wall or use props. The studio for this class is ADA-accessible .
Benefits include:
- Natural Weight Loss
- Increased Strength
- Naturally Defined Physique
- Increased Stamina
- Improved Posture
- Reduce Stress
- Relaxed and Clear Mind
- Most importantly, Have Fun ! :)
