I specialize in working with people who are new to yoga. Private instruction is the best way for beginners to safely and effectively begin their yoga journey. It can be very beneficial to take a few private classes that serve as an introduction and overview to the practice. And if you aren't that flexible, then you've come to the right place! ;) You don’t have to be flexible to start doing yoga. During the day, much of our activity — or lack thereof — shortens muscles. Think about how often you either sit at a desk, in your car or at home. Yoga lengthens and strengthens muscles while helping release stress. While becoming more flexible is a great benefit of yoga, an even greater benefit is that it helps us to live more powerfully and peacefully in our body. This gain happens regardless of whether or not you can touch your toes!
