Mindful Movement
New to PML - Mindful Movement!
In 2023, I set out to become a Certified Yoga Instructor.
I’m excited to share I have achieved the goal and am certified to teach Yoga, with an emphasis on the style of Vinyassa Flow. I have also achieved Yin Yoga certification and completed a Sound Healing program with an expectation to offer mindful and meditative sound during Savasana.
Although I have practiced Yoga off and on for many years, I have also experienced a number of injuries and medical procedures that sidelined me many times over the last decade as well, including a stint in a wheel chair. So, thank goodness I Love Yoga, because the truth is, in order to keep my body in motion, keep up with grandkids, be active in my older years, I Must practice yoga, my 62 year old body demands it.
When I entered covid, I couldn’t touch my toes, couldn’t do Childs pose. This week in class I was able to do MY variation of Dancer Pose, in my perfectly imperfect way! Body swaying, legs shaking, all the while praying I wouldn’t fall over and take others with me. It felt amazing to be in my body at that moment. I would love to bring this joy to others! I’d love to be able to see others finding movement in a body they thought would never see it again. We’ll use blocks and bolsters, straps and towels, whatever it takes to come into shapes to open and strengthen our bodies, for the life you want to live.
Most classes will be created for experienced beginner+ students, to bring movement to “Every Body”. Using the Asana’s or Poses of Vinyassa yoga, I’ll offer sequences to focus on the “One Breath, One Movement” philosophy of Vinyassa Yoga. Modifications will be given to be sure flow is available to yogis of different abilities. The sequences I hope to offer will help build strength, flexibility and balance. Additionally, I will work to include mindfulness in the movements for inner peace, confidence, calm and a sense of community with fellow students.
If you’re comfortable with a beginning instructor and know the basics of yoga, such as Sun Salutations, Upward and Downward Dog, Warrior poses and so forth, I would be grateful for the opportunity to practice with you.
Not quite ready? Stay tuned, I’ll be offering a Yoga Basics course in the late summer. We’ll start from the very beginning. I am passionate about bringing movement to “Every Body”. I look forward to doing just that!
I am currently working out where I will be teaching on a regular basis, so stop back soon to learn about the options of practicing together!
