benefits of yoga


1. building strength and toning + weight loss 
lifting your body weight in poses builds and tones lean muscle.

2. decreasing stress

forward bends cool the brain. 
deep breathing sends oxygenated blood through your bloodstream, calming the mind. 

3. deep stretching

after a hectic day at work, on your feet or hunched over a desk, 
there's no better feeling than unlocking tight spots in your shoulders and hips with a yoga session.

4. energy boost

the dynamic combinations of flowing poses and restorative stillness I love to teach leave you feeling recharged and refreshed.  Ever notice how much easier it is to motivate yourself to go to yoga rather than the gym?  Instead of just slogging away on a treadmill, you're exercising your mind, body and spirit.

5. conquering life's challenges

the poses that you find difficult, with practice, will become second nature. through yoga, you can reconnect with your physical and mental potential and apply that to obstacles in every day life.
  you are powerful.


6. the yoga glow

you feel so good after yoga classes it shines through you.  
your energy is positive, your heart is open. 
karma is cultivated when you share your light and spread the love!
