A note from Carrie:
Yoga is an exploration of self and I encourage my students to turn their attention inward to understand what is real for them in each moment. I started practicing yoga in 1995 with the news of my first pregnancy. Looking for something that would stretch & strengthen my newly forming body, relax my mind and ease the anxiety of childbirth; yoga was the perfect fit. Many years later, as a hatha yoga instructor, my vision is to create an open and safe environment in which new and experienced students can comfortably practice.
Students will learn to establish a rhythm using breath and movement while becoming aware of their bodies and creating stillness within their minds. Connecting with their inner messenger and learning how to nurture themselves. Carrie

SESSION GUIDELINES
Sessions begin with quiet sitting practice, so please arrive early & calmly settle in. If it is your first Session, please come 15 mins early to complete Intake Form. Conversation should be kept to a minimum, as this is a time for inward reflection and awareness. Follow along to the best of your ability, and be gentle with yourself. Move, stretch & breathe at your own natural pace. No need to always ‘keep up’. If floor sitting is too daunting, chairs, sofas, and even pews are available. However, core & spinal strength, hip flexibility, and energetic grounding are to be gained from developing an ability to sit on the floor unaided. So this can be something to work towards. Please bring a stretching mat and sitting cushion. However, if you intend to chair sit, then a cushion is not necessary. A throw blanket may be useful for Sitting Practice during Winter Sessions. Dress comfortably, in non-constrictive clothing, and perhaps layers, including socks. Try not to plan to do too much afterwards. It’s beneficial to maintain the stillness as long as possible.
