In January 2002 I traveled to Costa Rica for a one-month intensive training to receive my Interdisciplinary Yoga teacher’s certificate from the Nosara Yoga Institute and have been running classes in the Exeter and area community ever since.
I get great satisfaction seeing my students improve, impassioned, and ‘getting it’. I am passionate about teaching yoga in a manner that is heartfelt by everyone. It is so gratifying to witness the interaction that forms a community among the participants.
Each of the Yoga classes Include postures and movements to reduce stress and tension, increase your flexibility, improve your posture, build muscular strength, increase endurance, and improve your overall fitness. You'll learn breathing techniques, gentle yoga poses, and relaxation methods to help you release physical and mental stress. Modifications are provided to ensure each student's comfort and success.
At Heartfelt Yoga, we believe that yoga is more than just a physical practice. It is a way of life that promotes mindfulness, self-awareness, and inner peace. Our goal is to help our students cultivate these qualities through the practice of yoga. Everyone can do yoga... by performing at the level your body is ready for.
We are proud to have built a supportive and inclusive community of participants at Heartfelt Yoga. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will find a welcoming and non-judgmental space here. We value diversity and strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
