I am so grateful to teach yoga into my seventies. It fills me with joy.

A New Class

I have a new class beginning in January at the Strathcona Community League Tuesdays from 10-11:15am MST for 8 weeks from Jan 7 – Feb 20. Register here.

My ongoing Saturday morning class 9:15-10:30 at the Westwood Unitarian Congregation is attended by a wonderful group of students. Join us any Saturday at 11135 65 Avenue in Park Allen.

What is my “Slow Yoga”?

In Slow Yoga’s accessible classes, our theme is “only connect.” We listen to the intelligence of our body, our limits and possibilities. No perfect poses, only a deepening awareness and focus. To mesh mind and body, we integrate poetry and yoga philosophy into our meditation and movement. In grounding ourselves, we enhance balance and steadiness. In holding the pose, we uncover stillness and strength. In working towards our edge, we cultivate resilience. Through joint mobility gestures, we ease our pain. In letting go “like a leaf” we surrender ourselves to the present — the here and now. Invite yoga’s joy into your life. Remind your senses of everyday pleasures.
