My goal is to guide my clients to a state of relaxation and connection with their bodies so that physical, mental, and emotional healing can take place.
Hatha yoga practices are tools to calm the mind by working with the body. During practice, we strengthen, stretch, and become more coordinated as our mind-body connection is restored. Strengthening this mind-body awareness allows us to get in touch with the wisdom of our bodies. We can use this new awareness to guide our choices off the mat.
Increasing our sensitivity to our body’s signals allows us to make informed decisions based on what would serve our highest good; physically, mentally, and spiritually. My aim is to create a safe space for people to slow down, open up, and explore their mind-body safely. With emphasis on proper muscle activation, breath, and alignment. I believe yogic practices are tools for self realization and actualization. And I want everyone to experience that.
Lilly specializes in Hatha Yoga, where physical postures (asanas) are at the forefront of the practice.
“I have been working with Lilly for a few months now, and I can absolutely say that my work with her has been transformative. Lilly consistently creates a safe space in which I am able to reconnect to my body, and find my own personal limits of strength and flexibility through her guidance. Lilly’s focus on breath and body work, as well as emotional and mental well-being makes her practice especially powerful. She is a sensitive and intuitive teacher. I believe Lilly has the potential to be a major leader in the Louisville yoga community.”
