“Jody is hands down the best yoga instructor I’ve ever had. She makes people feel very comfortable no matter what level they are at. Being a mom and a business owner, I need to remind myself to take care of myself too. By taking her yoga classes, I feel like I’m getting back to taking care of my body. I feel so much more balanced. ”

You show up and I’ll guide you. No two classes are the same. Playful with mini challenges is the perfect way to describe my style. We’ll use an approach that combines yoga, stress relief, mobility work, goal setting, and mindfulness that will set you up for success. And don’t worry, we won’t take ourselves too seriously in the process.
“One class and I was hooked! The warmth and energy that Jody brings to class are unparalleled. I never went to fitness classes because I thought I’d do it wrong and people would look at me. I never got any of that in Jody’s classes. She’s so knowledgeable about the body and I really appreciate that. Her cuing is very detailed. She routinely suggests tiny positioning tweaks where you barely move and they make a HUGE difference. It blows my mind every time! Jody has a welcoming, encouraging, warm, non-judgmental personality that I think anyone could use in their life. I just love her to pieces. ”

FAQs
-
Arrive 5-10 minutes early to set up your space (mat and two blocks).
Then we’ll pregame. And by pre-game, I mean myofascial release. I'll pick an area of the body that we'll focus on in class and use techniques to warm up the muscles and release pent-up tension before we dive in.
The class itself will be 60 minutes. It includes a warm-up, standing poses, cool down, and final relaxation to ensure you leave in calm yet powerful state.
We use light weights and resistance bands at times to boost our practice. They are always optional. Use them if they support your practice. Skip them if they don't.

“Jody genuinely wants to help people feel better in their bodies. She’s passionate about yoga and good at what she does. She has a realistic practice that draws in athletes but you don’t have to be an athlete to take her classes. She’s really good at making people comfortable. I would recommend her classes to everyone!”
