Power In Breath Yoga

I've been taking the strength training class on Monday nights regularly for about half a year now. I did not have much experience with weight or resistance training but wanted to increase my strength and muscle mass. I enjoy this class and it has really helped me meet my goals. I feel stronger than I have in decades. Audrey is a very effective teacher. She effortlessly accommodates different levels in the class and gets to know her students and is able to effectively help people find movements that work for them.

Audrey breaks down poses and makes them accesible for everyone. I was able to learn to do some arm balance thanks to her coaching. Audrey is a sweet powerhouse.

I went to Audrey for five private lessons in an attempt to become more active after severe lower back pain. I realized that I was a challenging client because there were several poses that I was unable to do. Fortunately, Audrey was very understanding and compassionate and said just the right words to keep me going. I was very impressed by her positivity and by the alternatives that she presented, including breathing exercises (pranayama) that have been extremely helpful, both for body and soul. Audrey is a remarkable instructor with ample experience and vast knowledge and I highly recommend her.

Finally a yoga/strength training instructor who focuses on building a solid foundation for her students/clients and strategically adding onto our training to ensure coordinated and well rounded strength. Even intermediate and advanced students benefit from her methodical and deconstructed approach. She literally has us work on each of the building blocks of a certain movement, eg. pull up, squat, etc, before putting it all together to ensure we are engaging the correct muscles in the correct form. Audrey is very knowledgeable and observant, noticing and modifying movements/exercises for each student. If you show up to class consistently, you'll start feeling the difference in just a handful of sessions.

A few months ago after receiving some not great news from my orthopedic surgeon that I could potentially go back to surgery if my flexibility did not improve, I reached out to Audrey with Power in Breath Yoga. I live in Missouri now but knew Audrey well from our time living in Silver Spring. She created 5 personalized zoom sessions for me to help with hip flexibility. At my next visit, my surgeon was very impressed. I'm still working through the videos that she created for my forever use and hope to return to more personalized sessions or be able to return to complete in person yoga here in Mo in the future. Thank you Audrey for helping me in this recovery!
