“I tried yoga many times over the years on the recommendation of friends and trainers, but it never really did anything for me until I tried a class with Martha. My body responded to her style of flow combined with deep exploration of certain poses, while her words lit me up spiritually. There was one class where, after the first fifteen minutes of practice, the whole experience was so moving I had goose bumps. After that I was hooked. I’ve been practicing with Martha in one-on-one sessions for more than ten years now and my body, and, for that matter, my entire life, are transformed. I keep reaching places I never imagined, and then, with a little coaching from Martha, I keep pushing beyond.” — Mark

Martha is available for private, group, and individual sessions by request. Her classes are known for transmitting an infectious, powerful energy while staying compassionate and accessible. She weaves body alignment, music, yogic philosophy, flow, and humor into an experience that uplifts and grounds.

Whether in a private one-on-one, a family session, or a group class, Martha guides you to connect more deeply with your body and soul, and reminds you to follow your own inner wisdom. Expect an energetic and comfortably challenging Vinyasa practice tailored to your needs, leaving you both elated and at ease.

Oh how I love yoga so that I am eager to share it with you

And I hope that this poem will cause you to love it too!

The word YOGA means “to unite”

And refers to the union of body mind and soul

An experience that causes us to go to new heights.

You don’t have to be bendy or strong or even feel able,

All you need is to have a body and breathe to feel stable.

There are many types of yoga practices, none better nor worse,

What’s important is that you do one, and immerse.

Even five minutes a day of some breath and body work

Will inevitably give you a desired perk.

A yoga practice creates mind body connections

Which wards off of many of our afflictions.

As humans, we dwell so very excessively in our minds,

Our existence is dominated by thoughts of all kinds.

This prevents us from living in the present tense

And often creates life experiences that feel dense.

Worry, fear, stress and anxiety–

I’m sure you can come up with more variety

Of unwanted thoughts that dominate us regularly

And each day they likely repeat similarly!

It’s the nature of being human to have a dominant mind,

And when we are disconnected from our physical being

We are quite limited in what we are seeing.

Now that we acknowledge that our thinking minds cause us to loose power,

You ask, what is it that can help us blossom into a metaphoric flower?

My love, I shall now illuminate your radical superpower:

It is your BREATH that unites it all!

I hope you feel the magnitude of this call!

Inhale deeply and feel expanded

Exhale fully and feel you’ve landed

Inhale deeply and feel alive

Exhale fully and feel revived

This new awareness of your breath will be,

The beginning of a new path for you to become more FREE.

Consciously inhaling and exhaling unites your breath and mind

And when we add a yoga pose, it’s amazing what we find:

The merging of our physical and mental

Creates a direct experience of our SOUL that seems coincidental.

Our souls are innately joyful, happy and light

So when we relate to that part of us we become, oh so bright!

You do already connect with your soul—

When you are in awe of something that resonates for you,

like a stunning sunset

Or enchanted by the memory of a lover’s silhouette.

It is merely our over-thinking minds that block us from reaching our potential,

Of living our lives with more presence and joy,

I promise it’s not only conceptual.

We all desire more of these feelings

So it is time to reevaluate some of your dealings.

Adding a consistent yoga practice to your life will cause you

to find this lovely soul connection

And thus, be the recipient of your own affection.

It’s the difference between you thriving

And the comfortable status quo of you merely surviving!

Thankfully, yoga has become quite popular

So that you now have easy access to this great unifier.

Public classes, private lessons and YouTube videos–

You invariably can find a teacher who knows

How to guide your unique being

Toward the practice, whose benefits are far reaching.

So PLEASE, I beg you to consider,

If you add a bit of yoga to your day, you’ll feel so good it’s like you’re wearing inner glitter!

Transcend ordinary existence to one with more happiness

I believe in it so, I’ve shared with you my poetic sappiness!
