I’ve been so delighted to see new yogis practicing with Kelley and I at Tenth House. Our styles are very different, but our philosophy is aligned.

Yoga is an energetic practice. Whether you are flowing through poses or holding in stillness, the energetics of the postures are working on you. That is why I am cultivating a space that presents different iterations of the practice so that you can find the right one for you.

The reason I practice in stillness comes from personal experience. As a movement enthusiast—a regular person who loves to do physical things—I can’t immediately translate fast movement sequences into elegant, efficient execution. I need time, space, and calm to find the inner pathways that support healthy performance.

Slowing down, understanding how to improve my motor control, and taking all of that knowledge into my life kept me injury free. Over time, practicing and teaching this way revealed other things.

My brain really appreciates the focus.

Having a designated time to attend to mind and body without added stimulation is a skill I cultivate and treasure.

My physical abilities continue to grow.

Because of the novel slow movements, the intimacy with the biomechanics of my body, and the willingness to slowly sequence up to postures that seem to be out of my reach, I am able to do far more than I could have imagined.

I now trust my intuition.

I am living my life as closely as I can to my gifts and my heart. I appreciate the growth, love, and exploration I’ve gotten to experience as a result of my practice, which has only accelerated in time.

I enjoy a body centered spiritual life.

Yoga is more than physical practice. As I have felt the benefits of the postures, the other aspects of yoga have also come to life. I am officially a pilgrim on the path of self development and joy.

Make no mistake, any yoga you do inserts the key in the ignition. The yoga that I do and teach is the way that I am able to express myself, help others find relief and growth, and to have moments each day to appreciate the journey.

If any of this resonates with you, come join us. Kelley and I are ready to roll out the mat.
