I began teaching yoga in 2008, though my practice started long before I ever stood on the mat at the front of a room.
Over the years, I’ve taught students from many walks of life…beginners stepping onto a mat for the first time, older adults navigating mobility challenges, individuals seeking stress relief, aspiring yoga teachers, and those exploring healing through movement, breath, and self-awareness.
In my early years, I believed teaching yoga was mostly about poses and sequencing. Come in, encourage people to do their best, teach the poses and leave.
Over time, that perspective shifted because I observed how people arrived carrying stress, grief, uncertainty, joy, hope, pain and resilience.
Rarely could people touch their toes. And not only did I acknowledge that… I understood it.
Like many people, I turned to yoga for a steady companion through life’s challenges and transitions.
My flexibility was not great either when I started. It took time, practice and patience.
Expecting to push through all the poses at the beginning may not be possible or safely recommended…
It takes courage to show up, take a breath, and begin.
If you’re looking for a place to slow down, while honoring your connected presence through body, breath, emotions, and nervous system awareness , you’re warmly welcomed at Yoga Soul Wellness Center.
There is no one right way to practice yoga.
Every body is different.
Every story is unique.
And every journey has a life of its own.
We’re not here to be uniformed.
We’re here to be human.
