Bonjour Friends- I have been practicing yoga for about 15 years. This is a photo taken when I first opened the studio in 2013. A lot has changed since then, including our location, the color of my hair, and a few other things, but this photo reminds me of what following a dream can become. One of my favorite people took me to my first yoga class after a foot injury sidelined me from my usual stress releases. I was hooked instantly and began "craving" the connection I was learning to make between my body and my mind. Through Yoga I was able to not only heal several physical injuries, but also emotional ones. I was able to "let go" of apologies never received and find peace with things that had challenged me. In short, I found myself again! This led me on a journey where I obtained my first 200 HR certification in 2012 and an additional 200 HR certification in 2015. I was fortunate to study under and learn from instructors who had inspired me along the way.- Briohny Smyth and Dice Lida Klein. My desire to teach came from wanting to help others to feel comfortable in their own bodies again. To feel the sense of calm a movement practice can bring to the body and mind. To understand self-acceptance is a necessary beginning and the best gift you can give yourself. Honestly, I wanted to help people let go of whatever was holding them back. This desire is the root of my teaching style. I'm also a Practitioner of Yoga Tune Up Ball Therapy and am a certified teacher with the Veterans Yoga Project. I developed the anchored in self-care program for everyone, but those serving our country and defending our freedoms hold a special place in my heart. #proudnavymom *You can read more about it if you click the link under my photo. I am married to a great guy who "pushed" me to follow this dream. He believes in me more than I believe in myself at times. He knows I need this and he helped me (okay, I helped him) build this studio. Twice. I am "Mom" to two amazing kiddos. I could talk about them for hours so I will leave it at that one sentence and this one word....LOVE! Like you I have several other roles in this life.... Right now, I am working on staying true to who I am today. I recently obtained my E-RYT 500 certification through Yoga Alliance. I am excited to start creating a teacher training program that will hopefully inspire and foster growth. See you on your mat, e |

Hello Everyone!
Psyche (she/they) completed her YTT in December of 2022 with Ancient Heart Yoga and spent 2023 experiencing and living the philosophies of yoga, teaching here and there, but never fully stepping into the role of teacher. Entering into 2024, she is officially starting her teaching journey and brings a unique blend of experiences to each of her classes. Seamlessly blending cultural mythologies and philosophies from around the world, various styles of movement, breathwork, knowledge of the cosmos, combined with an eclectic music taste, Psyche's classes aim to bring people back into connection with their Soul Self. As a lover of storytelling and movement, they understand the transformative power that flow can have on the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories that our bodies tell as a result. Often designing classes with specific themes, students will learn not only about the connectedness of all things, but gain a deeper understanding into the themes present in their lives. It is Psyche's ambition and passion to help guide people back to the most authentic version of themselves through the expanding of definitions of things we choose to govern our lives by; with a focus on living unconditionally and how that can lead us into more fulfilling experiences of joy, pleasure, love, and beyond. |
