ARE YOU READY??

- To learn how to get started with a Yoga practice?

- To feel better in your body?

- To see the world through a more positive lens?

- To calm your mind and reduce stress?

- To rediscover your inner joy?

Getting started with Yoga can be tricky business. I understand how intimidating it can be to walk into a Yoga studio or class. Sure, you can put on a Yoga video at home, but even ones geared to beginners still require SOME Yoga knowledge.

With this program we will start at the VERY beginning. I'll explain it all as we go, and we'll have fun with it!

There are too many benefits of Yoga to list here, but some of my favorites are:

- A more flexible body to prevent injury

- A calmer, more peaceful mind

- An increased ability to handle daily stress and manage reactions in relationships

- A more positive outlook on life and increased sense of purpose

Yoga helped me find my purpose, and it taught me ways to manage my monkey mind so that I can live a more harmonious and peaceful life. I have put together this course to share what I have learned with you, so you too can enjoy all of the benefits of Yoga.

"I have been practicing yoga since about 1997 when I was 19 years old. I've had many yoga instructors over the decades, so at first it seemed like this course may have been a bit elementary for me. Turns out that was exactly what I needed. As with practicing anything for multiple years, it is always good practice to return to the basics. Mandy's course From the Ground Up, provides a strong foundation for yoga overall joining movement with breath and meditation. If you are just starting, I highly recommend this course to start with. If you've been practicing for a while, I encourage you to approach this course with the mindset of a beginner. You will probably learn something in the first couple of modules. If you're a yoga teacher - this is a fantastic resource to come back to "learn" how to teach to beginners. Mandy breaks down all of the movements in a way that both novice and practiced followers will gain huge benefits. 

I have also found that Mandy's voice is one that I try to implement in my teaching. She is confident, but not arrogant. And it seems more often than not that she's on the verge of laughing, which immediately puts me in a wonderful mood. 

Her course is down to earth with the soothing background sounds that come from her Costa Rican setting, which one day I will visit in person. I can't recommend this course enough. Ok, one downfall, it may inspire the travel bug in you! Thank you for creating a course with the newest yogi in mind while still including someone with a bit more experience. Namaste!"
