The word “yoga” itself comes from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which means to yoke or unite the mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago, with its roots in the Vedic scriptures. The word “yoga” itself comes from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which means to yoke or unite the mind, body, and spirit. It was not originally a physical exercise, but a spiritual discipline and a path to self-realization. Yoga and Ayurveda are often called “sister sciences” because they stem from the same ancient Vedic tradition. While yoga focuses on the spiritual and mental aspects of health, Ayurveda is the more clinical, physical side. Both systems emphasize that true health comes from a state of balance between the mind, body, and spirit, and they work hand-in-hand to create a complete system for well-being.
I am a 200-hour trained yoga teacher, certified in the fall of 2015 through Ashley Ludman’s Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica. I have also completed additional 15 hour training in Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra Level 1 with Katie O’Connell and about 75 hours with the course Uniting Yoga & Ayurveda at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health with Erin Casperson and Kate O’Donnell.
My classes are grounded in the principles of connection, presence, and growth. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can connect with your body, find balance, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. I look forward to joining you on your yoga journey.
