WELCOME TO K E the YOGI! I taught high school English for 10 years and was an associate professor of education for 16 years. Now, my classroom is wherever I roll out my mat, and my subject: YOGA. Providing safe alignment and informed practice is my priority. Through Hatha Yoga, I will teach you to balance breathwork, meditation, and poses. You will always know what you are doing and why.
With me, yoga is centered on honoring a thousands of year old practice to understand how to balance your life in the modern world. I promise to meet you where you are. All-levels are welcome.
MY YOGA JOURNEY In 2010, I walked into a studio in Jacksonville, Florida. When I left, I felt so different that I committed to practicing once a week. In 2014, I had a rock-bottom moment that heightened my stress levels, anxiety, and depression. Yoga helped me to calm down and focus on my physical, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. Twelve years later, I trained and received my first yoga teacher certification in Tamarindo, Costa Rica and my second in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm here to support you in finding health and wholeness through the same poses that helped me to self-regulate years ago.
WHAT IS HATHA YOGA? HA means sun and THA means moon. Just like the sun and moon create balance for the earth, Hatha Yoga is centered on balancing your mind and body for overall wellness. Hatha Yoga is the basis for all yoga practices. It includes the following: Breathwork: We learn breath control along with poses. Postures: We learn balance by practicing specific poses. Mudras: We learn focus by using specific hand gestures.
