Cultivating Somatic Awareness
True Balance Yoga with Devon is built to offer you a sustainable, heart-centered practice supporting your mobility, balance and calm at every stage of life. I focus on helping you find and sustain awareness of your body-mind connection.
Balance and Flow
This class is thoughtfully designed for anyone seeking a more balance-focused practice. Following a Vinyasa style with the breath as our rhythm we cultivate balance and strength to improve mobility, maintain joint health, and cultivate emotional and energetic balance. Supportive props used as needed to increase flexibility and improve balance without strain.
Align and Breath
Find Your Foundation. Master Your Form.
This is a deep dive into the architecture of your practice. With extensive training in the anatomy of yoga I help you focus on the physical alignment of each posture to build a stable foundation lessening the chance of injury. Longer breath driven holds gives ample time to refine the foundation and explore the subtle mechanics of each pose. Weights can be used per your preference to build additional strength.
Mindful Movement Yoga
This accessible, Hatha style class is designed for adults seeking a supportive space to unwind and move with minfulness and intention. With a focus on mindful movement, intentional breathwork, and deep presence we hold postures longer to build strength, release tension from the body and calm the nervous system. Breath and move to improve your mind body connection cultivating somatic wellness.
Elevate Your Fitness Routine
My approach moves beyond standard "gentle yoga" to incorporate research based wellness and fitness techniques such as:
Joint Protection and Healthy Alignment:
Focusing on movements that minimize unnecessary pressure on inflamed joints, often using the chair as a primary pedagogical tool.
Fall Prevention and Bone Health:
Emphasizing safety and simplicity to build strength and balance, which is critical for reversing bone loss and reducing the risk of vertebral compression fractures.
Somatic Regulation:
Integrating grounding techniques to address the parasympathetic nervous system.
Adaptive Yoga for Seniors
Gentle, anatomy-informed yoga designed to improve balance, mobility, and calm through safe, supportive movement. Classes include chair options, guided breathing, and mindful pacing for comfort and stability. Led by a 500-hour certified teacher with expertise in anatomy and accessible meditation, each session helps build confidence.
