Intro to Yoga for Beginners

40


40 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 31, 2020

I will introduce you to the basics of yoga so you can get started! Whether you want to feel comfortable in a yoga studio class or develop a personal home practice, I can be that boost for you. We'll do this over video service like Zoom, since we're in a pandemic. You won't even need to leave home! You'll need a camera and microphone (any smartphone will do) placed so I can see you down to your feet and hear you. We can work on basic standing poses, or sun salutations, or seated stretches, or all of the above. If you have no idea what you want, we'll just get started and figure it out as we go.

What's to love about Yoga?
​* Release stress and tension
* Soothe the nervous system​​
* Find spacious ease in body and mind
* Develop inner awareness

Training & Qualifications


Certified through the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts at the 800-hour level. Many of my classes are for seniors, so I know how to make the poses accessible for those with aches, pains, and limited range of motion. I sat at a computer full-time for 18 years, so I have experienced that desk posture: low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, tight hamstrings... tired all the time, sluggish, stressed-out... I've been there.

Availability & Preferences


Weekends are great. Also some afternoons and evenings during the week.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Rebecca Lynn

My yoga journey started with a book on meditation which recommended gentle yoga as part of a daily mindfulness practice. At the time, I was wasting away at a desk job in the corporate/business world u...nder a tyrannical boss. I found the mindfulness principles and sitting meditation useful for calming anxiety, stress, and self-judgment. I began to practice gentle yoga and yin yoga and discovered that yoga was like medicine. The physical postures release tension, clear out atrophy, and open up spaciousness in the tissues of the body. Yoga brings me a sense of well-being and ease. ​ My teaching style is focused on feeling into the pose to find the balance between effort and ease, between challenging the body and being kind to the body. For boot camp, look elsewhere. This quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn summarizes my approach: "Mindfulness does not bulldoze through resistance. You have to work gently at the edges, a little here, and a little there, keeping your vision alive in your heart." ​We put our bodies in a position to feel the stretch, to feel the edge of that resistance, and then breathe into it. With breath and patience, opening begins to occur, releasing tension and encouraging a sense of ease. My teaching experience includes nidra, yin, restorative, slow flow, chair yoga, yoga in the pool, and yoga off the wall. I am certified to teach yoga through the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), having completed their 800-hour program. show more
