Yoga should heal your body, not hurt it.
That is why I bring 26 years of personal practice and a blend of science and movement to every class:
• The Science: I am a trained neuropsychologist specializing in trauma-sensitive and adaptive yoga. I understand how your brain, nervous system, and muscles interact. This affects fitness, balance, breath and flexibility. This is especially important in a hot room when blood flow and pressures are impacted.
The Experience: I have been teaching yoga for 9 years and gymnastics for 12 years, with deep roots in circus and contortion arts. I’ve practiced with world-class hand balancers and taught yogis who are wheelchair and walker bound. A good teacher can handle a whole room of levels at once.
• The Lineage: I trained in hot yoga for 6 years under world-class IYSF USA teachers. Prior to this I was an Ashtanga focused yogi who loves cyoga and gymnastics. Because of my wide training styles I can bring options and speak at a different level of instruction that others cannot. I know the Sanskrit.
What makes our new Hot Room different?
We are a small, boutique space. You will never be packed into a crowded, unmonitored room. Instead, you get semi-private, 1-on-1 attention. We can hold 16-18 but we cap at 8 for a reason. This isn’t about making money off of 25 people crammed like sardines - it is about finding personal peace.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking for an elite workout that respects your joints, your mat is waiting. Don’t go to a place where instructors don’t know or understand anatomy and yoga postures. Reconsider taking classes where the instructor cannot articulate body and breath motion. You do not need to just watch your instructor - they need to be able to speak in a manner that you can follow them your way.
Here at Rooted - I am one of the best in the Midwest. The world- but this rhymed. Whatever level you are at - we can work with you without hurting you.
I used Ai for the pic. The robot on Google decided orange was a great color. It refused to add me or convert to green. Sacral safety entered the chat.
