Yoga at Health Plus in Midlothian, VA

If you got to this site from my business card, then you're probably looking for more information about my classes. I am trained through YogaFit. Their style is geared to making yoga accessible and safe to people of all ages and levels. Because many people come to yoga for physical benefits, I usually start them there. Sooner or later, students crave the exploration of the mind/body connection through deeper relaxation and meditation. Many people are uneasy about the thought of meditation because of stereotypes. My classes are not designed to teach a religion or belief system of any kind - how spiritual a class becomes is up to the student. In other words, classes are personalized for each student (the benefit of small classes). I like to think of meditation as checking in, and sleeping as checking out. As you can see, that leaves a lot for interpretation.

If you're curious about YogaFit's particular style in relation to other Hatha Yoga, it is a blend of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga. In other words, my classes go through flows of poses as well as strength-building segments where poses are held. Because my classes are small, I can tweak alignment and find poses which will draw out the best in each student.

I have room for daytime classes - especially M, W, and F. A free, or donation trial class is on the other end of your phone. Like everyone else, I had to start at the beginning (which is the hardest part). Please don't let that stop you from starting your new or renewed yoga practice. Feel free to call with additional questions - or to post them in the comment area here.
