Nice to meet you
Hi! My name is Morgan and I’ve been practicing yoga since 2001. I’m a yoga alliance registered yoga teacher with specialized training in adaptive, accessible and trauma informed yoga. Most importantly, I’m here to spread the news that yoga has nothing to do with fancy postures for specific body types, ages and abilities.
Yoga is a means for achieving a personal sense of empowerment and agency through awareness of breath and movement. There are multitudes of ways to engage yoga poses - the most important factor being what it feels like as opposed to what it looks like.
In [every]body yoga, I want to truly practice yoga together - honoring how you feel, strengthening from exactly where you are, and embracing challenge that’s tailored and specific to beautiful you.
Let’s use mindfulness to guide movement and remind you of the power of your mind and your body (regardless of what any person or institution has implied you may be lacking).
