To inspire
Inspiring Yoga
Yoga is an ancient charted path of embodying presence, clarifying intention and learning how to listen to the heart. It has given me the ground to not turn away from the pain of life, and turn more deeply inward with courage and curiosity.
Inspiring Yoga is an ever emerging synthesis of substantive yogic teachings, offering a unique blend of practices and programs to restore and nourish the body, calm and clarify the mind and illuminate the light within. Now more than ever, we need practices to not turn away, to embrace the heartbreaking realities of life, and still celebrate the extraordinary bounty and beauty of this sacred journey. Join me. There is so much to learn and love.

A variety of online weekly classes offer styles at various levels of practice. From gentle therapeutics to vitalizing vinyasa, tensegrity to spinal restoration with the BackMitra, every class is a creative exploration of embodiment, breath and cultivating presence.
Webinars
Online webinars are a rich learning experience; we investigate a vast array of topics and practices to deepen understanding, expand perspectives and possibilities and promote connection.

Spinal Restoration with BackMitra
Spinal health is at the core of optimizing alignment and facilitating easeful movement. The BackMitra is a brilliant prop to awaken connection, release tension in the spine and promote the relaxation response. As we awaken a sense of connection and aliveness, the experience of feeling calm and centred deepens.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is the meditative heart of yoga practice. Based on the natural cycles of sleep, this ancient technique reduces stress and induces profound states of relaxation. Using various techniques to relax the body and awaken awareness, Yoga Nidra unwinds deep holding in the body-mind and rewires the nervous system to promote a sense of ease and wholeness.
BackMitra
The BackMitra is complimentary to all styles of yoga and has a long list of benefits. Placed along the spine, this ingenious foam prop effectively relieves spinal tensions, improves circulation, and induces relaxation. Safe and simple to use, the BackMitra alleviates stress, opens breath and nourishes the heart. Learn to really relax with a simple self care treatment that takes just 10 minutes a day.
