Wise Women Yoga
This is a very mindful and slow paced class that really helps fine-tune your body awareness and relaxes your muscles and your nervous system. Energy kinesiology practices are sprinkled into the class to enhance brain integration. At the end of class, we set aside some time for sharing and learning from each other. It's an incredible community of like-minded, curious, vibrant and growth-oriented women.

Limited to 8 students
Cost = $25 per class
Month-to-month commitment

About Mandy
I have been teaching yoga classes and private lessons in Eugene for about 15 years. My teaching is informed by the principles of yoga therapy. I am someone who has dedicated a lot of my life to healing myself (from physical and emotional pain) through movement and energy kinesiology and I enjoy sharing what I've learned with others.
How I Teach
I don't focus much on teaching my students poses - I focus on teaching them how to move more purely (with less compensations) because moving purely is the way to reduce pain and stiffness. My goal is to empower my students to understand their bodies so that they can move and live the way they want. I believe that if everyone respected and understood their bodies better, a lot of pain and suffering would be eliminated. I was taught by renown kinesiologist and yoga therapist, Susi Hately. (I highly recommend her online teachings, which can be found here).

Balance First
Balance First was developed to support people who care for others. This includes both professional caregivers and those in everyday caregiving roles, including parents, teachers and individuals supporting family or community members.
Many people enter helping roles because they want to make a difference. Yet caregivers are rarely taught how to care for their own energy and nervous systems while supporting others. Without integration, the very act of caring can lead to burnout and depletion.
Balance First begins by teaching self-responsibility and self-regulation as personal practices. These skills help individuals restore clarity, stability and resilience in their own lives.
Balance First supports both personal growth and professional development. It helps protect the clarity, resilience and life force of people who care.
