My Yoga Journey.
Yoga can indeed be a life-changing practice for those who embrace it. It is more than just a physical exercise routine; it is a holistic approach to well-being encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. I have experienced many benefits through regular practice, including increased strength and flexibility, reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and heightened self-awareness. Many practitioners also report feeling greater inner peace, joy, and overall contentment with life.
And you can experience them too! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, there is always something new to discover and explore on (and off) the mat.
It brings me joy to help folks gain a deeper understanding of this millenary practice. I have practiced yoga for over a decade and am a certified and registered yoga teacher with over 600 hours of professional training. In my classes, I creatively incorporate traditional breath, movement, and meditation methods to help students develop their unique form of yoga, grow awareness of their physical bodies, and build a "kick-asana" practice.

What People Are Saying.
“I’ve been attending Deb’s classes for over a year, and I love them! Each class is energizing yet calming, and there’s always something new to learn. Deb is an attentive and intuitive teacher who adapts every pose to work for everyone in the room.”
— Chris L.
“Thanks to Deb’s cueing, I can now do Updog by firming my quads following the instruction to firm up my shoulders. Instead of hanging on my bones and hurting my lower back, I experienced a nice stretch throughout the front of my body, including the front of my foot, which is the stretch I need to counterbalance standing all day.”
— Teri N.
“I have been a student of Deb’s for about two years, and I learn something new in every class. Deb uniquely makes her classes fun, energizing, challenging, calming, and accessible to everyone. She holds a safe, compassionate, and empathetic space that meets everyone exactly where they are. No one is left out. Ever. I highly recommend Deb’s class to anyone looking for a safe space to explore their practice and have an absolute blast doing so!”
— Jessica M.
