Think yoga is only for the young, fit, flexible?
Associate yoga with bold, big movements making it inaccessible? The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali share timeless maxims for seeing yoga. Sthira-sukham asanam translates “the posture should be steady and comfortable”. I teach you to find steadiness and comfort within your own yoga practice. Be curious and notice.
Yoga is ageless.
Be Curious
Did you know that...
our neurons are hungry for input?
How we interpret our environment, how we perceive pain, how we process emotions – all impact how we handle stress. Our thoughts and feelings are shaped by our life experiences. Our bodies absorb tension in our neck, shoulders, and gut. Noticing these physical sensations without labeling them as pleasant or unpleasant can temper our reactivity and recast our way of collecting information.

Yoga helps my osteoarthritis and my general health. After the pandemic, a move, and joint replacement, I began looking for a yoga teacher. I found Marie, and her classes have truly been “healing yoga” for me. The classes are great for any level.
