Both an art and science, Yoga for well-being requires an “inner listening”, and when practiced with intentional kindness, is a meaningful path to self-discovery. Sharing my love for the practice since 2000, you’ll find my approach heart based and enriching.
My journey of Yoga practice began, as most here in the western world, with the physical benefits of asana(postures), but I quickly discovered that asana is only one of the myriad of benefits that yoga offers. Over my many years of practice I've earned numerous certifications including in-depth teachings with Shiva Shakti School of Yoga & Healing Arts, earning my advanced yoga teaching certifications, and registering with the Yoga Alliance as a CEU provider and 500RYT.
I've also studied Thai Chi, Qigong, and received black belts in Shaolin Kung Fu and Hapkido, as well as the healing arts of Reiki and Thai Bodywork. This combination of mind/body/spirit/healing arts enables me to offer my clients a uniquely intuitive experience.
My study of these arts occurred while simultaneously founding and directing a successful non-profit fitness & community center in rural Guilford, ME. After retiring from my Directorship at Community Fitness in 2020 I’ve devoted my energy to my studio, Center Yoga & Healing Arts, where I teach yoga classes, and provide personal yoga sessions..
As I’ve matured, my yoga practice and teachings have grown into a gentle flowing style that nurtures the body while also building strength and enhancing flexibility. Pranayama (breathwork) and meditation balance asana practice and encourage connection to spirit.
In 2016 my husband and I purchased and began to restore an abandoned home that was once Guilford Hospital, to be our home and also my studio, Center Yoga & Healing Arts. The studio is in the space once used as a waiting room and doctor's office. It overlooks the Piscataquis River and is filled with a peaceful healing energy.
