Hello world!

Hello! I’ve put my toe in the sea of blogging….hmmm….I’ll get to my point….my intention for this blog is that it would become a forum, resource, place to go when you need practical tips, inspiration, motivation, etc…Topics are certainly not limited to yoga — but as a yoga teacher, that’s what I know….I believe there are so many benefits we can gain from yoga – that I’ll be sharing tips, pointers, practical things everyone can incorporate into their day to feel better, relieve stress, build core strength….and more.  The executive at work, the mom at home with three kids, the baby boomer who’s a bit more stiff this year than last — all of these folks can benefit from yoga.

I teach a different type of yoga that I call demystified yoga. This means that we focus on the physical and health benefits of yoga and set aside the more mystical and spiritual elements. For me, I’ve always enjoyed and been drawn to the movements, breathing techniques, and certainly the stress relief I’ve gained from yoga….but felt that the more traditional aspects of yoga (chanting, mystical images & theology) made me uncomfortable (there goes that stress relief!). It didn’t align with my Christian faith – and I thought surely there are others like me, and YogaXoga was born….More on that in another post.
