The Yoga-Curious Experience

Your Personal Yoga Journey Starts Here

You’ve heard about all the life-changing benefits of yoga: better stress management, less reactivity, more presence, better balance, more flexibility and strength.

You’ve even Googled “beginner yoga near me.” Then you click a link to a studio and see “Vinyasa Flow,” “Power Yoga,” “Yin,” “Restorative,” and your chest tightens.

You have no idea which one won’t make you look like an idiot. The beginner’s class is on a Wednesday at 10am and nobody with a real life could actually make that work.

You close the laptop. Maybe next week.

Or maybe you’ve tried yoga before. You signed up expecting some stretching and a chance to relax. Instead it felt like a workout you weren’t prepared for.

No explanation. No options. No idea if you were doing it right. Halfway through your shoulders were aching and your legs were shaking. Everyone else looked like they knew exactly what they were doing.

You sat in your car afterward and thought “Is this what yoga is? I feel more stressed than when I started.” But part of you knows this practice could help so you tell yourself you’ll try again next week.

But next week comes and it’s the same thing.

The problem isn't you.

There is a way to start yoga without the anxiety that comes before you even walk in the door.

That’s exactly what The Yoga-Curious Experience is for.

This workshop takes the fear out of rolling out your mat for the first time, or starting again after years away, and gives you the exact information you need to walk into your first class like you belong there.

After this experience you’ll know exactly how to find a studio and class in your area that’s the perfect fit for where you are right now, AND you’ll book that first class without hesitation or spiraling into a laundry list of “what ifs.”

You’ll arrive at the studio and know which props to grab and how to modify downward facing dog yourself. And you’ll leave that first class feeling really good about the experience and about yourself. So good, that you book another class as soon as you get home.

But it doesn’t end there.

Your daily life changes, too.

Because of yoga, stress doesn’t control you anymore and you don’t find yourself falling into a puddle when life presents you with annoying, frustrating, or even scary situations. You have a way to find steadiness again even in the midst of modern day chaos, no matter what.

And you’re not the only one who benefits. Everyone around you does, too because you’re effortlessly the best version of yourself more often.

That’s exactly what The Yoga-Curious Experience can give you. Are you ready?

Here's What You'll Learn

What yoga is really about
(And why you don’t need to be flexible, spiritual, or wear expensive leggings)

How to select the right studio and yoga style
A studio and style that fits your body, your schedule, and what you actually want from a practice – not what someone else thinks you should want

What you really need to bring to class
(And what you absolutely don’t, despite what that boutique studio’s website says)

What that first class experience will actually be like
From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you walk out, so nothing catches you off guard

How to know if the class or teacher is a good fit
The specific things to pay attention to so you’re not second-guessing yourself for days afterward

The type of mindset that will set you up for success
Because starting something new shouldn’t feel like you’re already behind

BONUS #1
A short, guided video practice that gives you a taste of what class actually feels like (in the privacy of your own home, where no one’s watching). There’s even a version with postures on a mat and a version with postures in a chair. This practice is your’s to keep so you can play it again at home when you’d like a practice but are short on time.

BONUS #2
A simple, 2 minute grounding technique you can literally do anywhere when the stress starts to build. The bathroom at work. Waiting in the car line to pick up your kids. The guest bedroom at your parent’s house during a stressful holiday visit. Any. Time.

BONUS #3
A follow up Q&A 2 weeks after the initial workshop to answer any questions or concerns you have after your first real class.

FAQ

What will I need for the first workshop?

You’ll need:

  • a computer,
  • maybe a pen and paper to take notes.

We will do each live session online via Zoom. You can have your camera on or off. It’s completely up to you.

You’ll need:

  • a computer
  • a carpeted space or a yoga mat
  • to wear comfortable clothes you can move in
  • yoga blocks (2 large books will also work)
  • a blanket or towel if you would like padding under your knees
  • a sturdy chair if you are doing the chair based practice

You will have access to both recordings for as long as you want. I will send out links to the recordings the day after each live session.

Yes! I’ll be coving things like yoga philosophy and how to tell if a teacher or studio is the best fit for your body and life. These are both things that don’t always get discussed at length in the average yoga class. I will also be explaining the various styles of yoga and the benefits of each type. (Yoga is NOT all about handstands and mastering the splits.) Lastly, I will be covering basic ways to modify postures with props that many teachers don’t have time to cover in a public class.

Absolutely! Yoga is for everyone who wants to participate and I’ll even be talking about why flexibility is not remotely required.

Take the first step toward a steadier, calmer you.
