Blogging seems to be harder to get to these days; my last post was in November 2022! This made me think, I should at least try to post quarterly business updates on my website (if you want more regular updates email me at gentle_hatha@live.com and I can add you to my yoga newsletter). Most of… Continue reading A Quarterly Update

Autumn is Creeping in Quick!
Is it just me, or is this summer passing too fast? I have people messaging me every day, inquiring about classes for the fall, and getting ready for new routines and life with less covid "restrictions." I feel like I'm barely into the swing of summer, and it's going to be ending soon (insert sad-face… Continue reading Autumn is Creeping in Quick!
2021
As we move into a new year, business is starting to look a little bit different than previous years. We have already had to condense classes, as well as transfer yoga back to zoom until the spring. How do you grow a business, during a time of minimizing? I'm still learning. I will continue to… Continue reading 2021
Practicing Yoga At Home
CREATE THE SPACE This can be SO tough, but is necessary if you want an enjoyable practice. Decide if you need technology or not (YouTube or anything audio would likely need TV, laptop, or phone). You can find a realm of apps and channels that offer exercises and meditations or music you might want to… Continue reading Practicing Yoga At Home

An Act of Self-Love
During class recently, it came to me that yoga is such a generous gift we give ourselves: a simple act of self-love. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, or an hour or two a week, it is a place to land. To return to. To return to ourselves. To return to love.… Continue reading An Act of Self-Love

AN EASY WAY TO TRY A FREE YOGA CLASS! How many excuses have you made to not take a yoga class? I have heard them all!

Yoga Video 6: Final Relaxation
In this final yoga video of our six part series, we focus on relaxation. Sivasana is the body's opportunity to rest and integrate the benefits of your yoga practice. It is suggested to do a minimum of 5 minutes of stillness, but if you have time for more even better! Sivasana translates into english as… Continue reading Yoga Video 6: Final Relaxation
Yoga Video 5: Moving From Mountain
This is the fifth video of the asana-collection. The sixth (and final) video covers sivasana (a full body relaxation). During this 2-minute video we ground ourselves in mountain pose (Tadasana) and from there move through a gentle sun-salutation flow. The feet stay in the same position the whole time, and the movement stems from the… Continue reading Yoga Video 5: Moving From Mountain
