Have you been caught up in the whirlwind of day-to-day operations, losing sight of your long-term goals? It's time to pause, reflect, and realign. If you joined us for the first "Grow Here Now" session, welcome back! If you missed it, don't worry — we're here to catch you up.

In this follow-up class, we'll delve into progress checks, goal alignment, and refining your plan for success. We'll assess what's working, what's not, and what adjustments are needed to propel you towards your objectives.

Led by Sinikka Waugh, we'll revisit the tools and strategies introduced in our initial session, ensuring everyone is on the same page and equipped to move forward effectively.

From now until tomorrow, what shifts are necessary to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be? Whether it's recalibrating priorities, refining processes, or seeking additional resources, we'll guide you through the crucial steps needed to stay on course.

Join us as we recalibrate, refocus, and reenergize our journey towards sustainable growth. Your tomorrow starts today — let's make it count.

Private lessons are a perfect setting if you are new to yoga or want to focus on and further develop certain areas of your practice. My methodology is a hybrid approach between Integrative Yoga and SomaYoga, but sessions are completely catered to you and your goals. We focus on small movement and breath awareness to create a feeling of balance between mobility and stability. Private sessions provide tools for a growing practice at home or in the community, as well as bring yogic applications to everyday life.

Prior to our session, you’ll complete an intake form for me to fully understand your goals and health history.
