Sally Hebert
Sally has been practicing yoga for 40 years and has taught for more than 20. Her primary influence has been through the Iyengar tradition which stresses the importance of alignment through the use of props. “I believe in focusing on what our bodies can do, not on what they can’t do. I love yoga” – Sally
Dennis Wise
Dennis is a certified pilates instructor and has been teaching for 20 years. He also offers Qi Gong classes as well as Qi Nei Tsang sessions.
Neil Gresham
For Neil, teaching yoga is about holding space for the practitioner. In each of his classes, cultivating a sanctuary for a person to move safely and connect with feeling is the foundation. His emphasis on breath and posture creates a meditation of the senses. Along with hands-on adjustments and verbal cues, students are offered a way to deeply and mindfully experience each pose. Neil’s intention behind teaching is to offer students a way to feel connection; in mind, body and spirit. He believes that from that integration and practice, a person can live a happier, more fulfilled life. Neil’s teaching is mainly based on Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which is the “mother” of many styles of yoga. Neil uses yoga as a vessel for helping people to calm the ongoing chatter of the mind, reduce stress, and make a deeper connection to themselves.
Neil has been practicing since 2004, and teaching since 2009. Integration of body, mind, and spirit is one of the many benefits that yoga has brought him. To him, it is an honor to share what he has learned along the way. Neil’s interests include: Community, Cooking, Travel, Music, Mystery, Motorcycles and Romance.
Sarah Sugrue
Sarah is from the Acadiana area and completed her yoga teacher training at the 200 hour level, through The Yoga Abbey online, in the fall of 2020. She fell in love with yoga years ago, as a tool to help nourish & bring balance holistically- mind, body and spirit. She is passionate about gentle yoga for healing, self-acceptance and compassion. It has helped her immensely in her own healing and faith journey, as a place of solace, rest and recovery. It gives much joy and meaning to her to be able to share in the gift and practice of yoga with others.
Self-care and love is not selfish. We want to take the time to honor and show up for ourselves, so that we might show up and be there for others in a lighter and more present way. And this class is for those looking to cultivate a holistic self care yoga practice. One in which we intend to slow down, meet ourselves with kindness and find some peace and stillness in our day. It incorporates gentle movement, longer restorative shapes & holds, connecting with the breath and meditation. I hope you’ll join us! It is your time and practice, just for you- and my hope is that we can leave class feeling a sense of restored energy & balance in our spirit, mind and body.
