Introducing CG!

C.G. Began practicing yoga 7 years ago with the intention of exploring meditation and as a way to manage anxiety and prevent injury.  The practice has been a gradual unfolding for leading to her 200 hour Yoga Teaching certification from Kripalu Center Yoga Teaching;  a program requiring her to be immersed in a living yoga community throughout the duration of her training, in 2010.

C.G Believes that we can practice yoga in all the activities in our daily lives and that our yoga practice can be a gateway to a more authentic relationship with ourselves and those around us.  It has been said that Kripalu Yoga is the gateway to your personal practice, and C.G. has experienced this to be true.  In classes, she encourages students to be mindful in their practice so that they may find their own balance of will and surrender.  She emphasizes breath awareness and provides inquiries so that students may begin to notice recognize their habitual patterns. She allows students to find their own personal expression of postures and begin to trust their own body to communicate what it needs. She encourages students to seek a playful approach, curious about what they are capable of and undeterred by fear.  She does so with wit, humility and humor, recognizing that everyone enters their mat each day from a different perspective.  She believes that how we do anything is how we do everything and that our yoga practice can provide pathways to explore our approach to life.  C.G. has seen her yoga practice transform her life into a more joyful, vibrant, easeful experience and wishes to share what she has and continues to learn with all everyone she encounters.
