Welcome!
I am so glad you found Everybody Bend Yoga & The Nest Retreat House. Everybody Bend Yoga is a mobile yoga business where yoga comes to you in creative public (Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery or studios in the community) and private (your home) spaces. The Nest Retreat House is a brick-and-mortar private space with an on-site gym, where I offer private or small group (2-3 people) yoga, personal training, meditation, or sound massage.
As a long time weightlifter and former competitive powerlifter, and physique and bodybuilding competitor, I met the mat in hopes of gaining range of motion, calming my mind, and achieving physical and mental balance. I started practicing yoga in 2008, and became a registered yoga instructor in 2015, the same year I opened Everybody Bend Yoga. Now, as a yoga instructor with personal training, nutrition specialist and life coaching certifications, who is also a Peter Hess-trained sound massage practitioner, I aim to extend the benefits of yoga, energy work, and wellness to my clients.
My yin, restorative, slow flow, block & roll, and sound-infused yoga nidra classes allow students the opportunity to slow down, while my active vinyasa classes provide a slightly more dynamic practice. Threaded throughout all of my interactions are the life coaching skills I have gained through training and experience. And, if you have never been exposed to the benefits of sound healing, I invite you to consider a sound massage. The benefits of sound and vibration promote deep relaxation and balance for energy systems.
Think about how our fast-paced daily life, and the pressures of technology and social media has influenced our relationship to fear, our disconnect and discontent with our bodies, and the challenges we often face with slowing down and letting go. It’s time to slow down, turn inward, and make your health and well-being a priority.
I look forward to meeting and working with you, and introducing you to what Everybody Bend Yoga & The Nest Retreat House have to offer.
