Comfortable clothing that allows movement.
In a group setting I recommend clothing that is also modest.
We practice in bare feet. (If that is a concern for you, please bring it to my attention)
I teach Iyengar yoga, it is most closely related to Hatha yoga.
A detail and alignment focused yoga of posture and breath.
Strength, mobility and stability are created through the asanas (poses).
Iyengar yoga often uses props to help each individual gain their best version of their pose.
I work with all body types.
A student's description of Iyengar Yoga:
"Deliberately and intentionally lengthening and strengthening your muscles to create muscle memory which enables lasting mobility." TL
It is important to inform your teacher of any injuries or medical conditions.
Many adaptations can be done to protect you.
It is important that recent major injuries or surgeries are respected and you wait until you have healed and your doctor has said you can return to physical activities.

A quirk of the web provider Bent Mat Yoga uses, to purchase a class package it only offers online payment.
You have the option to pay for a package in person at the studio.
You can also connect with me and I can set up your package with an etransfer to be ready to use for booking.
Unfortunately, this platform doesn't allow you to book multiple classes at one time before check out, it is something I have requested.
In the meantime:
Purchase the class card you're interested in
I will add you to those classes
You will have access to those bookings under your account to cancel or reschedule, if needed, once I've added them.
Or you can book them separately.
I look forward to seeing you in class :)
Your personal information is very important to me, information will never be shared.
Financial information: you are connecting directly to the payment platforms, I do not see your information.
Paying in person or via etransfer is always an option.
