Contemplative Practice Yoga® Classes
BOOK A CLASS
Twice a month: Saturday at 10 AM or 3 PM
I offer small group classes that help you unravel tension in your body, providing an experience of deep calm and stillness. This practice is for all abilities.
This is your yoga if you want to be comfortable, calm, and flexible – without pushing, straining, or forcing your body. Contemplative Practice Yoga® is not gym yoga. It is restorative and therapeutic yoga.
If you're looking for a calm, integrated life, and seek a steady, quiet, sense of wellbeing, come practice with me. Contemplative Practice Yoga (CPY) is an embodied practice that helps you move better, feel better, and bring you joy.
It will help you be:
Comfortable in your body
Balanced in your bones
Peaceful in your mind
Grounded
Centered
Flexible in your joints
Calm in your core
Connected to Your Breath
Pain free
Rested
Quietly Energized
During class you will experience the physical benefits of the practice while also learning the why behind what you are doing. Everything we offer brings physical comfort, and builds you awareness of the magnificence of your soul.
CPY is unlike any yoga you have practiced before. Over time, you discover that deep and lasting beneficial change is possible. Consistently taking time for yourself to connect to your body is essential for your overall health.

What is CPY?
Contemplative Sac is the home of Contemplative Practice Yoga®, a deeply restorative and integrative practice. CPY teaches you how to unravel tension in your body which provides a corollary experience of deep calm and stillness. CPY aims to bring your body into alignment, so you live and move with greater ease and stability. It’s for all ages and all physical abilities.
CPY classes are gentle, restorative, therapeutically oriented yoga classes. You will learn new ways to feel at ease in your body.

Why are we different?
Each class is designed to decompress and unravel the tensions in your body – relieving stress, increasing flexibility and balance, and improving overall wellbeing. You’ll learn to dissolve discomfort and connect to your calm core.
CPY is an integrative practice that specializes in releasing deep, core muscle tension. This release of tension is the exact opposite of the “core strengthening” or “core tightening” common in many types of yoga practice. In a CPY class, you release tension in your core. I also teach you how to move and use your body in ways that improve your balance and range of motion – all with a sense of ease.
All of this is accomplished with gentle, supported movement.
In addition to core release, I teach you to attend to your breath, increasing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to your tissues, and providing a sense of deep physical relaxation and well-being.
Dissolving tensions in your body provides a corollary benefit of mental calm and tranquility. Students often describe a CPY class as “blissful”.
