What To Expect
Anytime we try something new, it can be intimidating and scary. If yoga is brand new for you, or it’s been a while since you unrolled your mat, you may think you need to be flexible or able to do each pose perfectly.
The truth is…if you can breathe, you can do yoga!
Bring a yoga mat, any props you’d like to use (blocks, a strap, a blanket), and some water.
Wear comfortable, athletic-type clothing that allows you to bend, twist, fold forward, and relax.
We end the practice with a few moments of stillness and quiet, called savasana (sha-vas-a-na).
“Be filled with wonder…be touched by peace.”
Although I am here to guide you through the practice, yoga is an individual journey, and it is your task to honor your body where you are today.

She has also completed additional training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga Practices with David Emerson, E-RYT of the Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute under the direction of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. This mind-body approach provides techniques that have a positive impact on the physical and mental well being of those coping with anxiety, depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Linda also offers private instruction to help clients incorporate these techniques into a traditional class or design a personal yoga program that will address individual triggers and challenges. As a certified Dance Instructor for over 25 years, Linda uses yoga as a part of her training methods to help her students gain focus, strength, endurance, flexibility and self-confidence. On a personal level, Linda believes that yoga enriches her life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - on and off the mat - every day.
Being active and staying healthy have always been an integral part of Heather’s life. She grew up in Bel Air, was a competitive gymnast, and has continued to participate in exercise-related activities, including cycling and yoga throughout her adult life. The combination of mindful awareness and physical movement is what drew Heather to yoga in 2006. After teaching for several years and sensing a need for yoga in the community, Heather opened Peace Yoga in January 2011. She is an ERYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance and holds a Masters of Education degree. Heather has studied with yoga teachers Stephanie Snyder, Judith Hanson Lasater, Jason Crandal, and Sage Rountree.
