Studies show that yoga and mindfulness increase productivity, focus and overall well-being.

Yoga + Somatics

I know first-hand how corporate stress and sitting multiple hours a day will cause pain, tightness and lethargy. My class helps to dissolve tension while increasing joint strength, mobility, energy and mental clarity. When the body has stagnation, energy cannot flow and a multitude of bodily functions suffer including the brain. When members of your organization do yoga movements and breath work, these channels are opened up benefiting the nervous system, lymph, digestion, brain function and boosting strategic thinking and creativity. This is why yoga is so effective for increasing productivity. Not only does yoga keep your employees feeling their best, but it also encourages team-building and community.

Somatics is a broad term that refers to the mind-body connection. I’ve studied somatic experiencing with Peter Levine and somatic movement, and these tools support nervous system regulation, inner safety, and a body up approach to mindfulness and presence.

I have taught in corporations of all sizes, in various settings, to all ages and backgrounds. I teach a class that’s suitable for all levels, and I tailor my class to meet your employees specific needs. I recommend classes of 30 or 60 minutes. My offering includes Yoga, somatic movement, breathing exercises and guided meditation. I offer both traditional yoga classes on mats, as well as "yoga at your desk," which includes light stretching, mindful breathing and meditation.

Meditation

My approach to meditation is simple and effortless for anyone to feel the benefits immediately. New meditators can be skeptical or frustrated with some approaches or beliefs that their mind is simply too active for meditation. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Everyone has the power to start to feel more calm and focused. I offer some breath, somatic and visualization techniques and I can offer different styles as we progress. I will share a brief talk, answer questions and then guide a 20 minute embodied meditation experience. Afterwords, there will be time for questions and feedback.
