Why do you teach yoga?

​

My own yoga practice has helped me get out of my head and into my body. As someone who struggles with chronic illness and pain, I have found comfort and relief on my yoga mat. Practicing allows me to feel a sense of body neutrality and even acceptance that is often difficult to find throughout the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I want to give students a chance to have this in their own lives. 

 

​

How do you want students to feel after class?

​

Relaxed, confident, and proud of what they've accomplished in class.

Thanks for submitting!

Land Acknowledgement: It is our privilege and honor at Auke Bay Yoga to live, work, and practice here on Lingít Aani, on the unceded territory of the Áak'w Kwáan who have resided in this area since time immemorial, and who have historically been displaced from what we know today as Berners Bay and the Auke Bay areas of D'zantiki Héeni, known by its colonized name of Juneau. 

 

We would also like to recognize our relatives of the Taku River, the T'aaku Kwáan who came to reside at Anax Ya Andagan Ye' otherwise known as South Douglas, without recognizing them would further contribute to the erasure of their very existence and the many contributions they have made to this community in the past, now, and in the future. The T'aaku are our relatives, we care for them, and are thankful for the stewardships they too will continue to make in perpetuity.

​

Gunalchéesh to the Áak'w Kwáan for your continued stewardship and guidance as we move forward together recognizing the historical and ongoing harms of colonialism. We humbly give thanks to the land and its ancestors for their wisdom, strength, and generosity. May we honor and protect this sacred earth together for generations to come.
