Shinrin Yoku/
Forest Bathing
Engage all your senses in the outdoors and see what nature has to offer.
Shinrin Yoku/Forest Bathing is a way to experience the more-than-human world that is often passed over during our busy lives.
Science has shown the benefits of nature immersion in stress reduction and increases in our immune systems.
Shinrin Yoku experiences are 1-3 hours in local forested areas.
It can be done individually or as a group.
Heart of Yoga
Yoga for you.
Your body, your abilities, your breath.
The Heart of Yoga sequence can be taught in 10-45 minute sequences to meet your schedule. The goal is to provide participants a sequence that can be incorporated in daily life.
Yoga with no special clothes, and no crazy acrobatics.
A standing sequence is also available that honors those in their workplace and work attire.
Just breath and body
in harmony.

Scheduling
During the school year I am working on-site with students on a regular basis. I have flexibility in my schedule but some days are full.
In Summer, my schedule opens up and setting dates/times becomes more flexible.
