yoga.

philosophy.

When it comes to teaching yoga, my views of the practice remain true at the core but have also evolved over time. My own experience with yoga started in a unique way that many in the west do not receive: studying the philosophy first. Once I started the physical practice of asana, the integration of those lessons happened seamlessly. When I returned to swimming, I realized that a majority of my youth was spent as a moving meditation. The seeds of mindfulness were planted, and I continue benefiting from the fruits of that labor.

Teaching yoga to children has evolved over time and experience, though I still consider myself a farmer of sorts, planting seeds that I may not see come to fruition. I believe the practice of yoga can be powerful, with benefits that extend beyond physical wellness. It is a holistic practice, including the mind, body, spirit, and soul, providing a more solid foundation when the world around us feels groundless.

As I’ve expanded my own practice to include Yin and the amateur study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ve found great joy in sharing these in adult classes. I’d like to think that what I offer is a good mixture of silly and sacred, covering and incorporating all aspects of what it is to be human. This can look like offering watercolor exercises during a Yin workshop connecting with aspects of our creativity, using beanie babies as a balancing prop during a Focused Flow class, having challenging conversations to expand understanding, or getting into some deep places of grief.

The more I learn, the more connection points I find between what seem like opposites. Play and work, sorry and joy, the cosmos and the earth.

CHILDREN’S YOGA

Planting seed for the future is often the way I approach Children's Yoga classes. Learning is not linear, and its evidence is not always immediately visible. Often observation is one child's "yoga" while another does every movement and breath – I believe they are both getting exactly what they need. Basically, it's all good. Getting children familiar with concepts of being embodied, finding confidence in their voice, and gaining tools to help build resilience are goals for each class. This is accomplished through working together in a safe, fun environment where I strive to help each child feel seen, heard, and cared for.​​

Family Yoga Classes

These classes range from caretakers with crawlers & toddlers, to yoga for every member of the family. No matter which class or age, we will always move our bodies, work with our breath, and find time for connection. I make an effort to always create a safe space so there is a chance for caretakers to tend to themselves, and for children to feel confident expressing who they are.

  • Kids yoga for ages 5-11 years old! Here, kids are encouraged to start their yoga journey through learning about yoga poses, working with their breath, playing with opposites to find balance (such as loud/quiet, rigid/soft), and explore some basic yogic philosophies along the way. I value respecting and honoring ones self, while also respecting and honoring the group, and strive to help each child feel seen, heard, and valued.​

  • This time of crossing the bridge from young child to adolescent can feel both exciting and disorienting. Finding balance – physically, mentally, and emotionally – is something that can help in this moment and for a lifetime. Through the tools yoga provides such as strength, flexibility, focus, and mindfulness young people can begin to move through stress with ease and discover the true meaning of resilience. Information for what we cover in class will be provided to parents to help integrate at home. (Ages 9-12)​

  • There has always been a need for community, but it seems increasingly important to create and participate in spaces that connect with those in similar stages of life. Sifting through pressures of daily life as a teen and navigating emotions such as anxiety can be difficult, without a good set of tools. The practice of yoga and mindfulness – especially introduced at an early age – can provide a foundation that can last a lifetime. There will be time for movement, sharing, breathwork, relaxation, mindfulness practices, and meditation. Information for what we cover in class will be provided to parents to help integrate at home. On the last Tuesday of each month, parents who would like to participate can join the class. (Ages 13-16)

  • Storytime Yoga is a 45-minute class reading through a special story together while incorporating movements and songs along the way. We always finish with time for relaxing.

  • For babies as young as 6-weeks old, until beginning to crawl or walk, and their caretakers. This is a time for sharing, movement, breathing, or simply stillness. The biggest intention is connecting to others and creating a sense of community through the shared experience of this time. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, nannies, friends, aunts, older siblings are all welcome to join during these classes. 

  • Parent or caretaker with 9-month-olds through 2-year-olds. These classes focus on time for the caretakers while their children are welcome to explore or participate as they would like. We focus on gentle, grounding movements, and connection within.

  • Parent or caretaker with children 2-5 years old. These classes begin with songs and movements, include connecting partner poses, and end with imaginative play that is never the same twice.​

  • Family Yoga: Fun for the whole family! During these classes, we will hold space for families to learn more about themselves individually, each other, and together as a unit. Classes will begin with a sharing circle, will always include body movement, breathing exercises, and will lean on the use of our imaginations, connection games, and will always end with relaxation.

Special Offerings

  • Special one-on-one guidance, to address physical or emotional goals. I will work with the child individually, then we can spend time with the child's caretaker to discuss what we covered during our session, any goals that were set to work on, and any tools or exercises everyone can try to incorporate into their daily lives. Location determined individually.

    60-minute sessions (50 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of caretaker integration), $75

  • More focused than a public class and a smaller group, this is ideal for 6-8 children at a time. We will go through specific themes such as Positive Mindset, Connection, Finding Balance, or Building Confidence and will include movement, breathwork, games, stories, and creative exploration.

    60-minute sessions, *special pricing available for bundled sessions

  • For ages 18-months through 5-years-old, these classes offer fun integration of body awareness and breathing exercises through light-hearted play and songs. Ideally, grouped into specific age groups such as 18mo–2yo, 3yo, and Pre-K, each session will include a predictable beginning passing a singing bowl, working with breath, and a similar movement routine (such as Sun Salutations), with additional time for imagination-based play.

    20-minute sessions per age group, $30 each session

  • Often children are faced with a long day sitting and not much time moving. With so much static holding of a seated position, curled shoulders, backs, and necks from bending over computers & phones, they need time to find full movement & mobility of their bodies. These classes are focused more on physical movement and breathwork as a way to re-connect with the body while also releasing stress that may have built up through the day. Sessions to include no more than 8 children.

    45-minute sessions, $375 per 12-week session
    * sliding-scale pricing available for under-funded schools​

  • Family Yoga: Fun for the whole family! During these classes, we will hold space for families to learn more about themselves individually, each other, and together as a unit. Classes will begin with a sharing circle, will always include body movement, breathing exercises, and will lean on the use of our imaginations, connection games, and will always end with relaxation.

  • Growing up as a competitive swimmer, I found the idea of stretching to be quite boring. I was already spending 5 hours a day training, and though I knew the benefits I didn't see the point in spending more time doing physical activity. It wasn't until after retiring from the UT Women's Swim Team that I discovered Yoga. The dynamic nature of yoga, which stretches not only the physical body but the mental and emotional bodies, made me quickly realize it would have been an amazing tool – especially in setting a stronger foundation through my younger days.

    These sessions can be done before practice as a warm-up or afterward as a time for recovery, and intensity can be adjusted depending on timing within the sport's season. We will spend time moving the body in appropriate ways for each sport, focus on breathwork, include a short savasana, as well as time for a guided meditation or visualization.

    Pricing customized per group, depending on size, frequency, etc.  ​

  • Yoga-themed party or not, yoga can always add something to the celebration! This specialized session can be adjusted to suit the theme of the party, or can be the highlight of a Yoga-Themed party. These sessions can be done socially distanced, or online.

    45-minute session, $100
