ROOTED IN LOVE YOGA
Welcome!
​​Hello friends! My goal as a guide in your yoga journey is to help you find a new appreciation and love for your body. I truly believe that yoga is for every BODY, not just those who we sometimes judge ourselves against. My philosophy is that someone else’s strength is not my weakness. I would love for you to share in that wisdom. We are each on our own journey and everyday the path can be a little different. My goal is for you to know that whatever your version of yoga is today, it’s perfect. Your yoga is just that, all yours. I want to help you feel encouraged, to explore, to build strength (not only physical), to become curious, to grow and to find rest. The yin and yang of yoga is about searching and finding balance. Welcome, I’m happy to have you as a traveling buddy!
Rooted in Love Yoga originated from a vision and a prayer. I’ve been practicing yoga since the age of 19, some years more than others (when my children were very young it was difficult to find the time for my practice). After attending a Yin Yoga class in 2010, I felt passionate that certain yoga practices could and would add to not only my physical journey but my spiritual journey with Christ as well. For my personal practice, I love using the flow of postures as a way to worship and pray.
I am a 500RYT (which translates to having completed 500 hours of yoga instruction and training) and a 200ERYT (which translates to having the ability to train others to become instructors). As of February 2023, I have led over 1800 hours of yoga classes and completed 200 hours of continuing education. I have also trained and become certified in Nidra, Meditation, Myofascial Release (MFR), and of course, Yin yoga. I’ve done 3 certifications for Yin Yoga, the most recent included 8 days in Vancouver, BC training directly with Bernie Clark (author of the Complete Guide to Yin Yoga, Your Spine Your Yoga, Your Body Your Yoga, to name a few). I am registered with YogaAlliance.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a membership?
Video Membership includes access to an incredible catalog of videos for you to practice anytime, anywhere.
I'm not very flexible and can't do splits. How hard is class going to be?
I don't teach the type of class where there's an assumption that you "have to be" anything. Try the 7-day trial and let's see how you feel. :)
How do I sign up for in-person classes?
All in-person classes can be signed up for directly from the website. Be sure to join the Facebook Rooted In Love Yoga Member page for the opportunity to practice live, virtually.
How is a private lesson different from a group class?
Private lessons are a wonderful way to get the one on one attention some students prefer. I've coached many private students. Some have chosen the option of private lessons due to physical and/or medical limitations; some having never walked into a yoga studio wanted lessons before practicing in public. Others have sought private lessons because yoga studio hours don't fit their schedule. The reasons are personal and I feel blessed to be able to offer this option. You can sign up for private lessons from the website calendar directly. Our first meeting will be over coffee/tea to discuss what you're seeking from private lessons and whether or not I'm the best fit to fill that goal. From there we will schedule a class together that works specifically with the goal that we discussed at our initial meeting. Additionally I will send encouraging texts to keep you motivated between classes. Feel free to email me with any additional questions you may have prior to scheduling.
What should I bring to class?
Yourself! Ideally a mat and a block or two. I have a limited number of props to loan, so please reach out via email/text prior to class if you need to borrow them, so that I have them ready when you arrive. A water bottle is always a good idea also.
How should I dress?
Wear something comfortable to move and stretch in, that doesn't limit your range of motion.
What if I don't look like the images of people doing yoga on social media?
Same! The majority of people who practice yoga don't.
When should I arrive for in-person classes?
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early. Yoga etiquette Doors are locked once class begins.
Do you offer childcare for in-person classes? Can I bring my child with me?
I do not offer childcare and children are not allowed to attend based on insurance regulations.
Where can I park?
Parking is provided for public classes in the parking lot attached to the building. For private classes at my in-home studio you will park in my driveway.
What is Christian Yoga?
As a christian, approaching more traditional yoga practices in studios, can lead to being in an environment that does not align with where I find truth in my faith. Christian classes will begin and end with a prayer, bible scripture is infused throughout the class and a christian playlist will accompany the class. Everyone is encouraged to practice these beautiful classes. Many of my students find these to be the classes that they enjoy the most.
What if I can't touch my toes or calm my mind and avoid distraction?
You're in the right place. You begin where you begin.
How do I cancel?
If you don’t want to continue, you can cancel your membership at any time. Follow the prompts to cancel on the Billing page, and your membership will not renew. Please note that there aren’t refunds for partially unused membership periods.
