Yoga Sangha
About
Yoga Sangha is more than just yoga! We are a community of yogis that desire more wellness for ourselves and our loved ones. Wellness begins in the body and includes the health of our minds, hearts, and actions. Yoga Sanha was created for people who want to make changes in their life, but may not know where to start, how to start, or would just like an abundance of support along the way! We offer group and/or private and personalized yoga classes for beginner to intermediate yogis. Detailed instruction will support personal development within the practice of yoga. We teach you to teach yourself and guide yourself through yoga asana. Join us after class for healthy refreshments, literature discussion, philosophy discussion, aromatherapy work, guided meditation, and life coaching.

I love to empower women who are suffering from chronic pain by tuning into their bodies with them to adjust patterns and create space, as well as strength and comfort, so that they can finally heal and feel whole in their bodies again!

Follow-up: a day or two after the first class (and anytime the student requests) to ensure continued proper instruction if any adjustments are needed, and to enhance the student's understanding of their practice.

I adore festivals with self-development workshops that include yoga such as Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, Lucidity, and Wanderlust to name a few.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Get to know the teacher first, ensure they are a good vibe for you! Be sure to communicate your needs and your concerns directly, openly and honestly. Your teacher will do their best to guide you safely, but ultimately it is up to you to divulge any pertinent information so the teacher can provide safe and mostly importantly beneficial guidance!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do you have any past or current injuries?
Do you have any hard limitations? If so, please communicate BEFORE or DURING instruction(before the limit is pushed)
Do you have any disabilities?
Do you suffer from chronic pain, if so, where?
Are you taking any medications, if so, for what?
Have you eaten in the past two hours, was it a heavy meal?
