My second blog post ‘Approaching the Mat: A Beginner’s Guide to a Studio Class’ is up on my website (link in bio). I wanted to write this because a lot of people tell me they’re interested in trying a yoga class but feel nervous about going to a studio for the first time. This post summarizes what I usually try to tell them. If you’ve been thinking about trying a class but aren’t sure where to start, this is for you. And if you already practice, feel free to share it with someone who might need to read it. If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out!

the first of a few more flows I’m hoping to post this year. today’s practice: moving slow and exploring my hollowback

Hello friends! Logging back on here with some exciting news to share, which is that I’ll be joining the team at @sweatandtonic to expand my class offerings this fall. In addition to my weekly schedule at BeHot, you can now find me in the yoga room at both S&T locations.

my first blog post, ‘What is Yoga?’, is now up on my website (link in bio). This post explores the history and philosophy of yoga, and connects it to modern day practice. I was inspired to write this piece through conversations I’ve had with friends and family, and because I’ve had the pleasure of being many students’ first introduction to yoga. I believe this information is pertinent for all yogis whether you’re a beginner or an avid practicioner, as it explores the core principles of yoga which can help contextualize and build your personal practice. I hope it helps further your own understanding of yoga. Feel free to leave a comment or share any questions you have as you read. Enjoy!
