MJ has been practicing yoga for a very long time. Because of back issues, she started practicing yoga at the age of 13 where she trained in the Iyengar method of yoga. It was Iyengar’s attention to precise alignment that helped her find strength and stability in her back. Later on, MJ discovered Power yoga and loved the freedom and intensity that it brought her. And finally, MJ has worked Lara Heimann, learning her LYT method of yoga. Lara’s precise alignment and strong functional movement patterns were music to her ears (and body).
MJ teaches yoga because she believes that Motion is Lotion. Movement is key to healthy and happy life. It is though the combination of styles that MJ can teach a class that is strong, alignment-based, and functionally sound. This kind of class creates a happy, healthy, sweaty yogi!
