Barefoot Freedom Yoga is now a verified program through Yoga Alliance.  Meaning that anyone who takes my Yoga Teacher Training can now get certified!  Teacher training starts January 5, 2018!

​Holidays are here and the rush has begun.  Rushing from store to store with our lists and traveling from house and house to gather with family and friends.
 
I invite you to a 1-hr Yoga class that allows you to push those lists away.  To create silence and time for yourself.  It is easy to be thankful.  Every morning and every night I give thanks.   However, the acts of Gratitude take practice just as the movement of yoga takes practice.  You must be able to know gratitude before you can show gratitude. 

This class is created for you and a friend to come join me.  I will teach a few breath techniques that keep you calm in the midst of the holiday rush.  The class will be a gentle flow class that allows you to connect a yoga pose with the breath. 

The only requirement is that you must be able to get up and down from the floor on your own.  If you feel that requirement is a challenge for you let me know and I will schedule an additional public class!

• The Y12SR model addresses addiction as a physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease.
• Y12SR says, “the issues live in our tissues” … the body bears the burden of addiction
the effects get ‘stuck’ in us
• Yoga’s physical practice combining breath and movement
can release what’s held in our bodies
• 12-Step recovery model is cognitive — a talking, thinking practice — & yoga
offers a somatic approach
• Addiction separates and disconnects people from their families,
​their communities, and themselves.
• Yoga means ‘union’ or ‘integration’ — the connection of breath and movement.
​• Y12SR pairs a traditional 12-step-based discussion group and a physical yoga practice 

This is a great class if you have gotten away from any physical fitness routine.  The class will move slowly with only a few transitions from sitting on the floor and to standing up.  I have had several requests to have a yoga class for individuals who feel they are overweight, have challenges of arthritis or other long term injuries, and also want find ways to stay active with gentle activity.  Gentle Yoga is a great way to connect the mind with physical movement.  The poses will help bring balance and strength in the body.  The breath work will also help people connect with their bodies in the poses as well as relax!
