Yoga + Meditation
Yoga has helped me slow down, tune in, notice without judgment, all while allowing myself grace in the process.
Discipline comes when what you do on the mat carries over into one's real life experiences. I am committed to finding “The me hour” no matter how busy and challenging life becomes. I owe it to myself to put me first. I realized quite some time ago that you can’t pour from an empty cup. I am learning to stand in my power, grow from my mistakes, and embrace the journey.
Vinyasa
One Breath One Flow | All Levels | 60 Minutes
Vinyasa is a type of yoga that focuses on movement, breath and alignment to attain balance. There is a connection in the mind, body and soul. Vinyasa aligns a sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. In Vinyasa the body gets warm and the heart rate comes up as you work to the peak of the class. While this is a faster paced class there are modifications making it beneficial and appropriate for all fitness levels.
Slow Burn
Deliberate Connection | All Levels | 60 Minutes
Slow Burn is a type of yoga that is a sequence of postures that uses the breath yet it is at a slower pace. Slow burn should not be confused with easy. The pace of a slow burn class is slower with an emphasis on safe alignment while maintaining balance and breath. Postures are held for 2-4 cycles of breath to help connect, notice and align. Static holds throughout this class allow for strength, stability, posture integrity, mindfulness, and awareness of breath. Slow burn is a great option for new students, or any practitioner that just wants to slow down to feel more grounded and connected.
Yoga Nisha Soul Flow
Where Yin meets Vinyasa | All Levels | 60 Minutes
Yoga Nisha Soul Flow is a 20/20/20 class. The first 20 minutes of class is yin. Poses are done on the mat with an intention to tap into the tendons, ligaments, and fascia. The next 20 minutes we work through a series of postures that are designed to heat the body. This section of the class is Vinyasa style. There is one breath, one movement as we transition from one posture to the next. The last 20 minutes of class is restorative. We come back down to the mat to stretch, relax, and restore. With Yoga Nisha Soul Flow you are literally getting the best of both worlds.
Yin
Relax, Release, Restore | All Levels | 75 Minutes
Yin yoga is a slower-paced more restorative type of yoga. This practice of yoga starts with meditation, to get grounded and connected with self. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for longer periods of time (typically three to five minutes of longer) to target connective tissues (such as ligaments and tendons) rather than focus on the muscles as most of our active (yang) yoga practices do. Students will hold 5-6 postures with the muscles fully relaxed, allowing time and gravity to deepen the stretch and target the fascia. This class ends with a longer more meditative shavasana.
Yoga Basics

Meditation
Breathe, Release, Awaken | All Levels | 30 Minutes
In this practice the student is led by myself in a private guided meditation session. Students are taught various breathing techniques as they learn to practice mindfulness while being okay with the practice just as it is. This private session will help you connect deeper with yourself as you learn to find the calm in the chaos.
