Corporate Barre and Yoga

This is really where I got my biggest break being a yoga instructor.  I was just starting out in 2012/13 as an actually certified yoga instructor.  I was teaching workshops at Flow Yoga, with the original owner Kat, teaching in the park to home schooled families, and substituting yoga to corporate employees. Working corporate is awesome!! You almost always have the same students. This gives you the ability to truly build on skills each week.  I subbed for about 3 solid years, teaching mostly during the summer, when teachers went on vacation, and winter breaks.  This worked great for my family schedule as my kids were still growing into teens, needing me, ya know, “soccer mom.”  Lots to get to after the 2:45pm bell.  

Then 2 years ago, the corporate gym wanted to change the schedule to offer some new types of classes.  This is when I said, "How about barre?"  I was lucky enough to know an owner of a barre studio and asked her to train me.  Now I am the permanent barre instructor for the last 2 years.  It’s been awesome to learn this new skill and share and hold the same concept of building our classes with the same students.  The corporate employees are wonderful. They work hard all day at their desks, and try to sneak away for 45 to 60 minutes of movement.  I'm thankful for their smiles and outlook.  We always have a great time!  More like a party workout.

Sound Baths

Aww, relief, let go, destress, rest!  Yes, to all of the above, sign me up too!!

As my Tibetan bowl collection has grown so have I as a sound therapist.  I took my sound therapy training over 2 weekend intensives, level 1 & 2 with Everitt Allen of Sound Therapy of Austin.  It was awesome!  I loved every minute!!

Are You Ready to Plunge into Yoga?

Warrior II, Virabhadrasana II. Bring the energy up from the earth to firm your foundation in your feet, leading up through the legs, the spine, to the crown of the head. Equal breathing, in and out. Mental focus, all is perfect in the world!

Step into a Yoga Practice. Focus on the Breath to lead you to new awakenings, new strengths, new depths you did not know were inside of you. The human body is much stronger that we think. Rooting down into the earth and rebounding the energies upward brings about length in the spine and encourages our mental focus and attention. Bringing this awareness to everyday moments, brings balance to the day.
