Beschreibung

I have been a yoga coach for the last 10 months in the US (specifically Maine), and I'm looking to coach yoga somewhere abroad this year!

I specialize in coaching fascia yoga, a form of movement that involves torquing, stretching, and counter-rotating the body in order to release physical tension in the fascia, which is our body's intelligent connective tissue. I was certified last spring by Human Garage, an organization and former health clinic in California that created fascia yoga (also referred to as fascia maneuvers) six years ago when they discovered at their clinic that by releasing stuck fascia, people can heal the original physical and emotional source of pain in the body.

I have been coaching fascia yoga weekly for ten months at Bowdoin College in Maine, where I graduated last May. My favorite thing about leading group yoga classes is the feeling of moving and breathing with a group of people in unison. I think it makes the practice even more effective and fun than when you do it alone.

Beyond coaching fascia yoga, I also have experience in doing hands-on fascia treatments/massages on individual people (this was also a part of my Human Garage certification). These involve assisting a client through a guided fascia maneuver in order to provide greater balance and release, or directly working with the person’s fascia while they lie down and rest. I would love to offer this service as well to your guests if they are interested!

Beyond my training in fascia yoga, I have extensive experience in other forms of movement. I studied theater and dance in college, where I learned lots of cool ways to exercise, strengthen, and relax the body the body. Primal Movements/Animal Flow in particular is one of my favorite ways of moving and is one that I gained significant experience in my theater and dance training.

I also have training in leading others on hiking and canoeing expeditions. At Bowdoin, I completed a 12-week outdoor leadership training program, where we learned how to lead others on backpacking and water-based trips. I also received a certification from NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) after doing a 30-day leadership training with them in Washington State. And I rowed for five years in Alexandria, Virginia, where I grew up, which is how I first fell in love with movement and wellness.

Before coaching yoga I was a journalist and wrote and reported articles for a couple newspapers in Maine (The Portland Press Herald and the Bowdoin Orient, my school newspaper) about education, public policy, and other things! I love reading and learning most recently have been enjoying learning more about astrology.

Please reach out if you have any questions or are interested in chatting! I would love to tell you more about anything above and my coaching practice, and learn more about your project or property. Looking forward to meeting you!

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I coach fascia yoga (also known as fascia maneuvers), which is a specific kind of yoga created by the organization Human Garage six years ago to help people unwind and release tension and stress in their fascia, which is the body’s connective tissue. My classes are highly adaptable and I love tailoring the movements to whatever the guests need that day, based where they are feeling restriction or muscle soreness. I also love tuning into the energy of the class and adjusting the pace and intensity of the movements to fit the feel of the group. I am also certified to do individual, hands-on fascia treatments and bodywork. This involves directly working with a person's fascia while they rest, allowing for a much deeper physical and emotional release.
