On The Path Yoga

The weather is PERFECT this weekend for Peace in the Park--Outdoor Community Yoga !!

We meet at North Bank Park (formerly Central Park) in Spring Lake next to ACE Hardware.

Please bring your own mat or blanket and dress for the weather. There is sun or shade available.

See you there at 10am!!

There is a reason I chose to take my vocation to becoming a yoga teacher. For over 40 years I have worked in the fitness industry--teaching all of the trendiest, new fads to people looking for the answer to their feelings of self doubt and sense of lack.

But I am first and foremost a health educator. And what I witnessed in most of the gyms I worked at (which was similar to my experience as a nurse in a for-profit hospital) was not something that promoted or supported real health and wellness.
It supported:
Weight loss
Conformity
Adrenaline rushes
Competition
and "Quick fix" mentality

Last weekend I lead a most amazing workshop, taking a small group finding safety and discovery in their bodies, into growth, transformation, and a sense of wholeness--nothing lacking, only possibilities for deeper awareness and expression. We explored the roots of Ta**ra, the biology of female genitalia, and the potential of generative creativity.

"The world will keep creating new stimulation for restless minds. But none of it will create lasting well-being if human beings keep avoiding depth, discipline, self awareness, and inner work."

While we started the build out of our first studio, I started teaching classes outside at Lakeside Beach. We continue that tradition now on Sunday mornings from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend with our Peace in the Park--Outdoor Community Yoga classes, starting this Sunday!!

There is no better way to prepare for birth than to practice movements now that will help you to achieve movement in the moment intuitively.

Prenatal Yoga helps you to find space for your breath, your hips, and your pelvic floor for a more comfortable pregnancy, efficient birth, and better postpartum recovery.

Practicing regularly makes it all register more deeply in your nervous system and memory.

That is why we have WEEKLY Gentle/Prenatal Yoga classes offered on Mondays at 10:30am as well as Mondays and Thursdays at 5:30pm. Taught by certified Prenatal Yoga instructors, we incorporate movements that are beneficial for supporting pregnancy and birth--and honestly?--these movements are beneficial for EVERYONE and that is why we also invite all of our clientele to join.
