Upcoming Classes and Workshops

"I feel really, really good. In fact, I haven’t touched my foam roller at all (upper back) and when I sleep my hips and legs do not ache like they did last summer. I am more mindful of my posture and I just feel all around stronger. I feel more grounded physically in my power and even mentally. My heart feels more full. This reminds me of something similar to what you said in class and it’s true!

“I met Dorie when she taught my yoga class. I was immediately impressed with Dorie's warm, clear, accepting teaching style. She created a real sense of community even in a large class in a huge space and was always available and encouraging if I (or anyone) had questions or needed assistance. When I was struggling with chronic hip pain, I began working with Dorie individually. With Dorie, I learned how my lifelong scoliosis directly affected my hip movement and we began working on my alignment. Always encouraging and brimming with new ideas, Dorie helped me gain new body awareness that shifted essential aspects of my walk and my posture. Eventually, I needed a hip replacement due to years of wear and tear, however, the work with Dorie on my alignment resulted in a phenomenal recovery. I've been treated for scoliosis by various physical therapists for years. More than any other experience, Dorie's work built my confidence, awareness, and connection to my body and helped me internalize and shift my alignment 'from the inside,' creating a significant, lasting impact on my posture, alignment, and mobility. I am so grateful to Dorie for her support - and - I feel empowered and able to keep the changes going on my own!”

I carry your wisdom and guidance with me every time I am on the mat, really and truly. Even though it’s been years since we’ve spoken every time I straighten my legs after coming down from plank I think of you ;). But it’s more than that too. ❤️

I always look forward to practicing yoga with you. It makes such a positive difference in my life. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you🥰

Practicing with you was more important than ever for me this past year. Thank you for holding the space and gifting me your guidance. Looking forward to another year practicing healthy movement together.

Yoga in the workplace reduces stress and improves mental clarity. Like a throw rug, when we are constantly being used to insulate peoples’ next steps, we accumulate dirt and unwanted particles. Yoga is like we have taken our rugs out to be shaken in the fresh air, so they can work more effectively after they have been put back in to position. I have noticed positive changes in my body, since doing Yoga regularly at work. Being that my job is physically and mentally demanding, Dorie’s Yoga instruction has helped me conduct a more healthy work-day.

From working with Dorie, I immediately noticed the difference in my balance and posture. I am an older woman who still horseback rides and competes in dressage. This way of moving is not just studio poses. It is applicable to all sports as well as standing sitting and walking. It is all about alignment and balance . Now I sit and walk tall, shoulders back, breathing more deeply and an with an open chest. I can even stand on one foot. Dorie is a wonderful teacher. Knowledgable, supportive and great fun.

I am addicted to moving in this way! Prior to December 2014, I was seeing a physical therapist for shoulder and neck issues. By February I was hooked on this form of movement. My neck and shoulder haven’t felt this good in years and I found myself wanting to be in the bow on and of the mat. I realized that my shoulder, neck, back, glutes and radiant heart have never felt so strong. With the slight tip of the tail bone and the expansion of the rib cage and lower back I walk, and run!, with a new bounce in my step. I’m not shy to say, that my intimate life has changed in surprising ways. My old habit was to tuck my tailbone when I was feeling strong, in control, or excited. Bonus! When my pelvis is slightly tipped during orgasm, my keigel muscles are more relaxed which allows the orgasmic pulsation to be way more intense.
