Two of my favorite things in life are traveling and teaching yoga, which is why I’m beyond thrilled to announce Flat Mat’s 2015 East Coast Tour!
I’m kicking things off with a visit to the awesome Carolina Rollergirls in early September, and shit gets real once I arrive in DC later in the month. I’ve got a few sessions that are open to anyone who wants to join them, as well as some dates that can still be claimed–perhaps by your league?
What’s in it for you and your league?
- Flat Mat classes are developed specifically for roller derby. I retired from Gotham, and I still skate today with a rec league and at rinks. I understand what derby is doing to your body more than your average yoga teacher, and I plan my classes with that in mind.
- You get to choose the focus of the class. I’ll book any of the classes that I teach at RollerCon; you can view the list here. I never teach exactly the same class twice, so even if you’ve taken my class before, you’ll walk away with something new.
- I provide suggestions for you during the class. And not in a “Hey, you in the purple shirt!” kind of way. I offer heaps of variations for most poses, and I’ll come around and point out things that will help you access a pose in your body (not some ideal that may or may not feel attainable).
- You’ll feel better! That’s the number one response I’ve gotten from skaters when I asked what they enjoyed about my classes. Injury prevention, less muscle soreness, and better balance and stability–what’s not to love?
