Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga™

Jody’s teaching style is as fiery as her red hair: intense, with attention to alignment, core-centered postures and, above all, accessible to aventurous practicioners of all levels.

Her class focuses on building core-strength and alignment set to the tune of an East-meets-West philosophy, gathering inspiration from poets, inspirational speakers and gurus alike. She’s a playful, creative person and her style reflects that.

Specifically, you’ll move to and from your core strength while you flow through poses to upbeat music like retro rock or Manu Chao. There’s plenty of room to laugh and take yourself seriously at the same time, because this class is upbeat and lighthearted, but it’s a challenging vinyasa. You’ll finish in Bliss Pose and take your deepening connection to the Core of who you are with you as you move onward with your day.
