This is NOT yoga

What? Not yoga? Isn't that what I'm all about? Well in short, yes. But the truth is that it is so much more. This is about taking control of your life. Harnessing your own ability to affect your quality of life.

We live in a pandemic. And it’s not going away. Variants keep popping up despite lockdown measures and vaccines. It’ll be here for the long haul guys. 

So where does yoga come in?

It’s the key to multiple solutions at once. Yoga has been proven to decrease stress - a major factor in your defense against illness. It also gets your body moving, another known way to decrease stress. You will build strength and increase mobility. Building strength and increasing muscle mass improves your metabolism. Movement helps you to sleep better and regulates hormones. You will learn to foster a sense of awareness within your body so you can better listen to your body’s feedback. Having a general sense of this feedback lends itself to increased well being (food and hunger cravings, what to eat, how much to eat, when you are tired, how much to sleep, thirst, the ability to identify what gives/takes away energy from you and how to harness that.)

Maybe you’ve seen something like this before. You begin a new positive habit in your life and you notice the ripple effect into the rest of your life. This movement is just that: 

It’s the rock thrown into the pond that starts the ripple.

Are you ready to start something?
​
I am here to help. What’s coming isn’t just an online yoga platform. It’s a way for you to take control of your health and get moving. Movement in a way that teaches you what your body is saying, and movement that gets you in touch with your inner awareness. The little voice inside of you that is your guide to health. Give that little voice a platform; even just once a week, and it will start to get louder. Loud enough to encourage positive change in your life.
