ALL ABOUT YOGA BY B

Hey, I'm B (Brittany for long) and I am passionate about making movement accessible for all. I also love space, reading, community, plants, sunshine, climbing and volleyball. You can find my origin story here.

​

The movement education and classes I have to offer are based on physical therapy, functional range conditioning, weight training and adaptive movement fused with yoga. It focuses on connecting the mind and body while strengthening the deep core. My motivation is to keep people moving- pain free. I want to make you feel capable within your own body and have the confidence to continue moving in it.​

WHY MOVE?

Functional movements are movements that our bodies naturally want to be doing on a daily basis. The way, for the most part, they were designed to move. It’s the way we bend over to pick something off the floor. It’s the way we walk, run and jump. We want the biomechanics of our body to work in all directions, front to back, left to right.

​

Too much of one repetitive action, without another action to counteract it, can put unnecessary stress and strain on the body, causing joint/muscle dysfunction. Things like swinging a baseball bat constantly, typing, or more common nowadays, sitting at a desk create these kinds of dysfunctions. Retraining ourselves to use more functional types of movements will utilize the body the way it was meant to and retrain the brain to create better neurological patterns.

​

Yoga helps tie these exercises and concepts together. Adding breath to movement brings us more into the present moment and really concentrate on the muscles trying to fire. That’s the simplicity of yoga- poses and breathing. But when you add on functional types of movement and proper muscle firing, your workout goes a little further than holding a static pose. It brings out areas to work on in the practice and help strengthen it. That’s where I can help!
