She holds certifications in Iyengar and Anusara Yoga and for the last 22 years has been traveling the world teaching workshops and retreats.

Recognize Your Power: Hips and Lower Back: Standing and Seated Poses
Begin the weekend learning the key to freedom in your hips and lower back. This simple —yet powerful— thread will be carried through all of the classes. The question is “how do we strengthen ourselves without becoming too hard?” Please join us to discover the answer.

Saturday 12:30-2:00pm
Re-ignite: Center and Strengthen Your Spine: Whether or not you love them or fear them, backbends are good for you. Join us to find out why they are so healing and what you can do to improve your knowledge of and relationship with your own unique spine.

Saturday 3:30-6:00pm
Renew Your Energy: Twists of All Kinds: It is only after we turn inward and discover our own inner strength that we begin to find balance in the dance of life with others on this planet. Strength and flexibility are interwoven in this skillful practice.

Sunday 12:30-2pm
Re-commit and Share: Full Spectrum Practice with New Tools:
After the first three classes, this workshop will give you a chance to try out the new tools you have gained during the weekend. A lifelong yoga practice is an uphill endeavor—-you will be consistently refining and re-creating your body/mind. With a new understanding of breath, core strength and flexibility you can challenge yourself to grow in all types of poses.

When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it’s just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment. -Eckhart Tolle

Repost from - COMMUNITY 🙌🏼

Feeling the power of the collective is a great reminder of why we need community. It’s very important to recognize that we are not destined to live life alone, that’s just not how we’re made!

Experiences (like yoga) shared with other people are so vital for our own sense of connection and belonging, and without it, there can be a massive impact on our mental health, our physical health and our overall well-being!

Yes, there are important times for solitude and alone time. However, human connection is a must if we
truly want to thrive and feel alive ✌🏼💚

STUDIO UPDATE!

As you may have noticed, fitness facilities and studios around the valley have started to open. This past weekend we submitted our 4 page Covid-19 Procedures and Guidelines to the Arizona Department of Health. Prior to the shut down and going forward, all of our procedures and guidelines meet or exceed the CDC, AZDHS, and OSHA requirements for opening.

We are eagerly awaiting our approval from AZDHS this week 🤞🏽 and you will be the first to know! Until then, we will be counting down the minutes until we can unlock the front doors!⏱

At 3:42pm this afternoon we were notified by ADHS via email, "Thank you for your previous Attestation submission; however please note that you do not currently have authority to reopen based on this submission.”

This past week we have placed multiple calls to the Governor’s office and ADHS, and were given no information other than to keep checking their websites. At this time gyms in Maricopa County are not even able to apply for re-opening. There has been multiple court orders and a continued lack of information being given to business from the Governor's office and ADHS. We are very sad to see the Governor take an entire industry’s livelihood away and their ability to pull through this pandemic, especially an industry made up of so many small businesses.

We will continue to livestream and offer on demand classes until we can re-open.

Thank you for your continued support. 🙏🏽💙
