Hope Yoga
I love yoga.
I have a deep love and gratitude for the path of Yoga I have been travelling for almost 30 years.
It began with a Jane Fonda video from the library in 1994.
From the beginning I could feel my bones, body, and heart open with the wisdom and beauty of this ancient path. Yoga has been my medicine, my constant companion and guide through the beauty and mess of life.
I offer Hope Yoga as the result of my yoga journey, trainings, learnings and joy.
Hope Yoga is what it sounds like.
Hope through Yoga. Hope for a happy heart, a life of simple pleasures, deep love for life and living our best lives.

Menopause Yoga
​
My intention is to bring empowerment to women navigating all stages of Perimenopause and Menopause through Education, Wisdom and Hope.
Education through sharing the science of menopause, research-based practices, awareness of the physical changes and bodily aspects of menopause including bone, brain and heart health, diet, exercise and stress management.
Wisdom through the ancient teaching of Yoga. Applying yogic philosophy in the modern world through asana, mantra, pranayama and self-awareness. This includes the wisdom of Sacred Divine Feminine in all her forms.
Hope through reflective practices, sharing circles, journalling, movement, intention setting for spiritual and personal growth.
Menopause Yoga embraces all the wonderful tools of yoga to support the wild transition of Menopause. Through yoga poses, mantra, breathe work, pranayama, mudra and yogic philosophy, Menopause Yoga offers tools to weave into everyday life off the yoga mat.
Through understanding science, western medicine, anatomy, the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, we get to choose the individual path of our own menopause journey. There is no right or wrong way. Just the path you choose based on what you know to be true for you.
