MORNING DHARMA

I started Morning Dharma in 2019 as an early morning in-person class at Jala Yoga in Shepherdstown, WV. In March 2020, we transitioned to Zoom to continue our practice during the pandemic.

Our dedicated community appreciated the flexibility of practicing from home, and we have continued to practice together online. Despite the distance, we have created a loving and supportive online community that kept me grounded during the most challenging days of the pandemic and continues to inspire me every time we step on our mats together.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Each month, we explore a new theme and in 60 minutes, we stretch out our morning muscles, flow to get the prana moving, and sit in short meditations to strengthen our minds. This is an all-levels class and starts promptly at 6:30 and ends promptly at 7:30 to get you on your way.

My classes are rooted in traditional Hatha yoga (a gentle style), combining pranayama (breathing), asana (yoga poses), and meditation. I also integrate vinyasa flow, which links poses at a slightly faster pace, along with yogic and Buddhist philosophies, and a deep reverence for the natural world.

I believe that yoga is a lifelong practice — one that ebbs, flows, changes, and evolves. To make it accessible to all body types, ages, and abilities, I always offer modifications tailored to individual needs.

Yoga blocks and straps are sometimes used in class but never required.

Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or if you just want a little extra motivation!
