Jentle Yoga and Mindfulness

What if you want the benefits of yoga, but getting up and down from the floor is not easy?

That’s one of the reasons I love Aqua Yoga.
The water gives us support while we work on strength, mobility and balance - no yoga mat required.

I bring Aqua Yoga right to your community pool.

Now booking evening classes for HOAs, condos & private groups in the Palm Harbor/Dunedin/Tarpon Springs area.

Message me if you’d like to bring Aqua Yoga to your community. 💧

Some days you want to fly.
Some days you want to stay grounded. ☯️

In yoga, we talk about sthira & sukha - steadiness and ease. Finding the place where there’s enough effort to support us, without working harder than we need to.

Some days that looks like an arm balance. Some days it looks like resting on a bolster. There’s room for it all.💛

Come practice with us at Savage Yoga Studios - we have a class for you.

NEW THIS FALL 🍂

I'm excited to offer Teaching Gentle, Aging & Sensitive Bodies, a 10-hour professional development intensive for yoga teachers.

This training grew out of years of teaching students who don't always fit neatly into a traditional yoga class- older adults, beginners, people returning to movement, and students who simply need more time, support, props, or another pathway into a pose.

Rather than memorizing a modification for every possible condition, we'll explore how to see the student in front of us, offer meaningful choices, use props without creating a hierarchy, and teach in a way that helps more people feel capable and included.

We'll work with props, inclusive language and cueing, common concerns and scope, transitions, sequencing, case studies, and practice teaching.

October 10 & 11 | 12:30–5:30 PM
Savage Yoga Studios | Palm Harbor, FL
$200 | Limited to 6–8 participants

Yoga teachers, if this sounds like an area you'd like more confidence in, send me a message.
I'm happy to answer questions. 🤍

This is one of the reasons I've fallen so in love with Aqua Yoga. 💙

After experiencing my own chronic back pain, I've experienced firsthand what a difference the buoyancy of the water can make. Being able to move with less pressure on my spine and joints gives me a sense of freedom and ease that I'm not always able to find on land.

It's one thing to understand the benefits of Aqua Yoga as a teacher. It's another thing to experience them in your own body.

The water has made me appreciate this practice in a whole new way. 💦

Thanks Aqua Yoga with Katherine, for explaining the "why" behind it so beautifully.

Water changes physics.

When you’re immersed to chest depth, your body weighs only a fraction of what it does on land.

That means:
Less compression through the spine
Less stress on painful joints
Easier balance
More confidence moving
For many people with chronic back pain, this is the first time they’ve been able to move comfortably in months, maybe even years.

And that’s important.
Because the more positive movement experiences your brain has, the more it begins to trust movement again.

Confidence is therapeutic.

Water gives people the opportunity to rebuild it.

Now we know what to do with a yoga wheel! 😉
We had a fun afternoon of stretching, moving, finding support, balancing and PLAYING at Yoga Wheel Basics.

Thank you to these ladies for showing up curious, trying new things, laughing with me and being willing to play. You made my first Yoga Wheel Basics workshop so much fun to teach. 💚

And thank you Savage Yoga Studios for giving me the space to keep trying new things, too.
I hope we do this one again! 🛞✨

A little calm before the school year gets busy.💛

Thank you to Illumina Learning Center for inviting me back to share a gentle yoga practice with your teachers as they begin a new school year, and to Savage Yoga Studios for helping make it possible.

As a former teacher myself, sharing yoga and mindfulness with educators is especially meaningful to me. Teachers spend so much of their days taking care of everyone else. I love creating opportunities for them to slow down, breathe, move, and take a little time for themselves, too.

Wishing the Illumina teachers a wonderful school year ahead! 🌿

If your shoulders feel stiff after sitting at a desk, driving, gardening, or spending too much time on your phone, give this a try.

A little support can go a long way.

This gentle yoga wheel stretch can help:
• Release shoulder tension • Open the chest and upper back • Improve mobility • Feel good after a long day

Move slowly, breathe steadily, and never force a stretch. Your body will let you know what's enough.

Curious about using a yoga wheel safely and confidently?

We'll explore beginner-friendly stretches, gentle backbends, shoulder openers, and simple ways to make your practice feel more supported.

Neck tension? Try this.

Two lacrosse balls tucked into a sleeve or a sock make a great DIY alternative to yoga therapy balls for releasing tension at the base of the skull.

I love using this technique to help ease tight neck muscles and the tension that can build from long days in front of a screen, stress, or simply carrying too much.

Find a comfortable spot, let your head get heavy, and breathe. Less pressure is often more.

I use this release in my classes because it's simple, affordable, and feels amazing.

Save this for the next time your neck needs a little love. 🤍
