Yoga Essentials and Foundations

Yoga Essentials and Foundations was created to ensure that beginners and experienced practitioners alike have a solid foundation for their yoga practice.

Our first experiences with yoga are often in a group setting where:

*individual attention can be hard to come by

*each person is at a very different place in their yoga journey

*yoga asana (poses) and creative sequencing are often prioritized over

yoga philosophy, breathwork, and meditation techniques

In this course we will:

*break down and demystify some of the most common yoga poses and sequences

*get familiar with basic breathwork techniques that can support your asana practice

*explore the hows and whys of incorporating yoga into our daily lives

By the end of this course, you'll be able to join any of my yoga offerings with confidence and understanding, as well as implement your own short home asana, breathwork, and meditation practices.

I have been taking classes with Stephanie since 2019. I love how she meets you on the mat, wherever you are; mentally, physically, emotionally. Her classes provide a safe space that offers the flexibility to align with your own practice. Stephanie is exceptional in offering different options to her sequences and holding space for her students no matter what their experience or skill level is. In her classes I have found a powerful and peaceful approach to yoga.  --Lesley W.

Maybe you're feeling like:

*you would love to try yoga, but you have no idea where to even start

*there were a few (or a lot of) things you missed by jumping right into group classes

*you haven't made it to your mat in a while, and you could use a little inspiration

Imagine feeling:

*confident joining any yoga class

*like you have a better understanding of some of the most foundational yoga asanas

*inspired and calm when you step on your mat

Stephanie is my go-to yoga instructor.  Whether in-person or online, her classes are deeply fulfilling. I love to start my Sunday morning at her class; her pace and program work for a wide range of practitioners, from newbies to seasoned yogis.  She has a great, generous spirit and I always leave class feeling like I should be doing this more often.  Try her class – you won’t regret it! --Will G.
