Body of Knowledge

Class02__02-1.JPG
I have been practicing yoga & pilates since 2000, and teaching fitness classes focused on anatomical alignment since 2008. I have earned teaching certifications through Blue Powder Productions, Athletics & Fitness Association of America (AFAA), The Dailey Method, & Yoga Alliance. My personal practice has evolved over years of learning to work with hypermobility, knowledge of vertebrate anatomy & evolution, and under the tutelage of amazing yoga, pilates, and barre teachers.

Tuesdays 6:00-7:00pm            "Functional Core" 

Core Stability is a blend of Pilates and Yoga principles that focus on anatomical alignment, muscle engagement, and joint flexibility. The goal is to move from your core and be able to use your joints and muscles through their full range of motion with stability and power.

Alignment-oriented yoga flow with mindful transitions timed to breath.  A strong focus on intentional & comfortable alignment, foundation, and body awareness. This class will help you learn your unique alignment in common yoga poses to stabilize your joints & move with ease from a place of strength.
