Yoga& Mindfulness
Yoga
Yoga is a 5000 year old science that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual practices designed to bring balance and unity. It comprises various practices such as postures, breathing techniques, chanting, and meditation methods. Though there are several styles of yoga, the ultimate aim is to enhance both the mind and body, leading to therapeutic benefits. Yoga is a preventative practice that can keep our bodies and minds healthy!

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It is a way of becoming aware of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them. Mindfulness can be practiced through meditation, yoga, or simply by taking a few minutes each day to focus on our breath.
There are many benefits to mindfulness, including:
Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved focus and concentration
Increased self-awareness
Better sleep
Enhanced emotional regulation
Improved pain management
Increased compassion and empathy
Mindfulness is also effective in treating various health concerns, including:
Trauma
Anxiety
Depression
Burnout
Stress
Sleep Issues
Chronic pain
Some autoimmune issues
Mindfulness is like a super-power and I can help you unlock that power within you!
Note: Mindfulness is not intended to diagnose or treat mental or physical health disorders.
My Yoga Journey
My journey to yoga started after an accident when I was 11 years old. I suffered an almost deadly concussion, which also fucked up my back. I tried medication, exercise, and chiropractors every week for years, with no results. The moment I left the chiropractors office, my back popped back out of place and I was in pain. At 16 I found a yoga VHS (yup, there were still VHS's back then!) As I practiced, not only did my back feel better, but I felt more balanced, less stressed, and more emotionally stable. I was hooked on asana practice.
Later, the yoga--pranayama, cleansing practices, meditation, and other lifestyle practices--allowed me to manage my autoimmune issues in a way that Western medicine hasn't. Along with Ayurveda, yoga has taken my chronic issues from disrupting my life every day to only bothering me occasionally. And the longer (and more committed I am to my practice) the better my health becomes. I want to help everyone who deals with chronic illness or chronic stress have the amazing results I have found in yoga!
I received my 200hr yoga teacher certification from Holistic Yoga School in 2015 and received my Yoga Therapy certification in 2023.
