Debby’s Self Discovery
Forever a student of this mighty practice, it was in her forties that Debby discovered yoga and the healing it grants the body and mind. It has helped her navigate many of life’s transitions since, including a career shift into the humbling role of yoga teacher. Debby creatively guides yoga students with her earthy mix of attentive alignment, fluid movement and breath awareness. She encourages curiosity about the practice and often uses props to further enhance the asana experience. Debby’s fresh ideas engage people’s imaginations as students are whisked away from routine and carried along on magical yoga journeys with inspiration woven into every class, workshop, and event she leads. With no shortage of causes she champions, Debby lives her mantra “I possess infinite potential” every day.

04/26/2021(2 events) 9:30 am: POWER YOGA – 
Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, linking them with your breath. Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike. My style is to take you through a variation of Sun A & Sun B to warm up the spine and then the hips. Then we learn a flow in chunks and put it all together for that dance with breath. We then move into core work and cool down, finally landing in that magical end pose - savasana. You are encouraged to share any specific body part you might need to address in your practice in that moment. I do my best to honor requests and tailor portions of class for you. 12360 Manchester Rd #206 St. Louis, MO 63131 United States 314-821-1878 11:00 am: DEEP STRETCH / RESTORE – 
Deep Stretch / Restore is an active stretching class that targets primary muscle groups surrounding the hips, hamstrings and upper back. Living in a forward facing, seated world, these areas tend to be tight for everyone. Tight muscles can cause imbalance and pull the body out of alignment. This class begins with warm-up movements to build heat and prepare the muscles for stretching. MANY poses are done on the floor and held for 1-2 minutes. Holding poses for longer periods of time and focusing on breath gives the body time to fully relax and open. Deep Stretch / Restore is an accessible class that everyone needs – athletes, advanced practitioners, weekend warriors, first time yoga students and everyone in between. Focused stretching allows muscles to relax and lengthen, which puts less strain on the skeletal system and reduces tension throughout the body. Students who take this class regularly report fewer injuries and improved sleep. Restore is a great class for first time yoga students. Neither experience nor flexibility are required, just an open mind and a willingness to have fun while trying something new. We are once again using props and I invite students to take 2 blocks, a strap and at least one bolster each class. We use all props for supporting the intention of the class - to leave feeling restored. Find your way to this class for restoring your body and mind with soothing shapes and gentle movements intended for recovery and rest.

04/27/2021(1 event) 6:30 pm: YOGA FOR ATHLETES – 
Athletes recognize how paramount fluid breathwork is to supporting a relaxed body and mind when performing at a physical limit. Climbers specifically. So, we begin each class focusing on our breath and slowing it into deep diaphragmatic breathing. Once connecting to this centering, stress-relieving ingredient, we begin moving energy though our bodies with a vinyasa flow, core work and stretching exercises, that will build strength for the cruxes of our chosen sport. Complementing your athletic endeavors with a regular yoga practice, you can benefit from improved stamina, flexibility, agility and centering. In addition, yoga enhances proprioception, a vital ingredient in all sports. This class will be tailored to athletes and specifically climbers, so we can all stay in tip top mental and physical shape through this "re-entry" timeframe.

12360 Manchester Rd #206 St. Louis, MO 63131 United States 314-821-1878 1:15 pm: Live Stream Yin Yoga (ONLINE) – 
This SURRENDER class is streamed online for members of Life Time. It is filmed live from their Frontenac, MO location, and is lead by me holding these shapes right along with you! What to ExpectThis slow, meditative yin yoga practice, designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues, is a nice complement to your "yang" yoga and fitness classes. You will breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses on your mat. Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It's slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune in to your mind and body. Equipment UsedYoga Mat. If you have props you'd like to include, you might add in blocks and / or bolsters. Don't have blocks or bolsters but want support? Try substituting a thick hardback book for a block or pillows for bolsters. Life Time Frontenac 2051 South Lindbergh Blvd Frontenac, MO 63131 6:00 pm: SUNSET SUP YOGA WED – 
In this floating yoga class we incorporate elements of yoga and breathing to help you find more balance both on and off of a paddleboard. Expect to have fun while challenging your individual edges of flexibility, focus, strength and balance. Beginners welcome as no yoga nor paddlebaording experience is necessary. The available time is 90 minutes, with 45 minutes dedicated to yoga, 15 minutes of free paddling & photo opportunities, and 30 to get setup and return to the dock. You will rent or bring your own SUP board and tether it to one of three moor lines in the water using the carabiner supplied. The moor line allows for floating 6+ feet apart, and you'll be breathing in the air of the great outdoors, so no worries about recirculated air. The $13 ticket gets you the yoga class. You must either bring your own SUP board or rent one of the 16 available at Creve Coeur Lake Rentals. You may only rent the board after 6pm. Please allow time to park, sign their waiver and pay them the $12 to rent the board. Class begins at 6:30. This class start & end time are related to sunset, so it changes throughout the summer. There are no refunds for Sunset SUP Yoga. In the event of weather causing a cancellation of class, you may reschedule yours to a future date. TICKETSSUP YOGA Q&AWhat should I wear and bring? You can wear usual yoga clothing or shorts that you don't mind getting wet. You may choose to wear a swimsuit. It's your choice. If it's a sunny day, don't forget sunblock and a cheap pair of sunglasses (in case you lose them). Also, a towel might be nice for your ride home after. Please leave any valuables in your locked car and arrive with enough time to find parking and get initiated to paddleboarding. What if I fall in the water? The paddleboards we use are all Glide stand-up paddleboards. They're large, sturdy and the waters are generally calm unless it's a super windy day. We are each clipped onto a moor line that will assure your board stays in the class and all facing the same direction. The lake is about 15 feet deep where we float our class. As long as you know how to swim and are comfortable around water, you will be fine. The idea of falling keeps you focused in class for sure, but those who do fall in, end up bravely attempting even bolder moves. I've seen it often. If you fall, you just get right back on the board. Is yoga harder on water? Being on a board offers you the opportunity to fine tune your attention to this exact moment. It may be said it's more "difficult" in the sense that you need to pay attention to alignment, foot placement, and smooth fluidity of movement in order to maintain balance and stability on the board. It's harder to simply mimic postures you know and "cheat" through muscle memory. You will learn more about how you center and trust in your stabilizer muscles intensely. Many students sign up again and again, for the fun and challenge offered in this class. You will receive much guidance about how to maintain balance on this floating mat. And no one will be doing their shopping list while moving through poses in this class! Where do I rent the Glide SUP Yoga board? Creve Coeur Lake Rentals is noted on the map below. Be sure to arrive with enough time to find a parking spot and bring your driver's license to rent the board. This year board rental is $12 for our 90 minutes.

05/01/2021(2 events) 10:45 am: SURRENDER YIN – 
Learn to Let GoThis slow, meditative yin-yoga practice is designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues as you breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses. What to ExpectYou’ll be guided through a series of passive postures, mostly done on the floor. Poses are held for up to several minutes, allowing fascia and joints to gradually compress or release. This class is suitable for all experience levels; you’ll learn to utilize your breath and observe your natural tendencies when faced with discomfort. Why it WorksPhysically, long-held yoga poses mobilize and lubricate the joints and can help make these tissues more flexible. Mentally, these poses challenge you to meet arising resistance with mindfulness and self-compassion, teaching you to find the middle ground between craving and aversion. 12:15 pm: ROOT - Fundamentals –
ROOT Hatha Fundamentals is a signature yoga class of LifePower Yoga at Life Time Frontenac. The intention for ROOT is to provide a welcoming entry point to Life Time Yoga. It is designed for students new to yoga, students dealing with physical limitations or injuries, and experienced students who are looking to slow their practice down. This class has a therapeutic quality to it by allowing students to feel more, look inward and heal deeply. This is held in the large studio at Life Time and has become a family of students who are committed to rewarding their physical, mental and emotional beings with 60 minutes dedicated on each Saturday to their whole being. If you are new or not, this class has something for you. I guide it with loving care and intend for each student to find moments of deep connection to themselves and to discover new curiosity and wonder every week. We have props available again and use them regularly. Your sacred space awaits. Come settle your mind and center you.

Many students sign up again and again, for the fun and challenge offered in this class. You will receive much guidance about how to maintain balance on this floating mat. And no one will be doing their shopping list while moving through poses in this class! Where do I rent the Glide SUP Yoga board? Creve Coeur Lake Rentals is noted on the map below. Be sure to arrive with enough time to find a parking spot and bring your driver's license to rent the board. This year board rental is $12 for our 90 minutes.

05/15/2021(2 events) 10:45 am: SURRENDER YIN –
Learn to Let GoThis slow, meditative yin-yoga practice is designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues as you breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses. What to ExpectYou’ll be guided through a series of passive postures, mostly done on the floor. Poses are held for up to several minutes, allowing fascia and joints to gradually compress or release. This class is suitable for all experience levels; you’ll learn to utilize your breath and observe your natural tendencies when faced with discomfort. Why it WorksPhysically, long-held yoga poses mobilize and lubricate the joints and can help make these tissues more flexible. Mentally, these poses challenge you to meet arising resistance with mindfulness and self-compassion, teaching you to find the middle ground between craving and aversion. 12:15 pm: ROOT - Fundamentals –
ROOT Hatha Fundamentals is a signature yoga class of LifePower Yoga at Life Time Frontenac. The intention for ROOT is to provide a welcoming entry point to Life Time Yoga. It is designed for students new to yoga, students dealing with physical limitations or injuries, and experienced students who are looking to slow their practice down. This class has a therapeutic quality to it by allowing students to feel more, look inward and heal deeply. This is held in the large studio at Life Time and has become a family of students who are committed to rewarding their physical, mental and emotional beings with 60 minutes dedicated on each Saturday to their whole being. If you are new or not, this class has something for you. I guide it with loving care and intend for each student to find moments of deep connection to themselves and to discover new curiosity and wonder every week. We have props available again and use them regularly. Your sacred space awaits. Come settle your mind and center you.

05/16/2021(1 event) 11:00 am: Yoga + Mimosas – 
It's More Mats & Mimosas! Join friends for some physically distanced Yoga + Mimosas at Intaglia Home Maplewood. Intaglia is a former garage turned home & gift store. We will have 3 of the 4 garage doors open (think of it as Yoga in the Bay Area!) for our flow in this aesthetically serene home goods shop, and cap off our experience with mimosas and lite bites. This class is just $10 + a healthy non-perishable food item to be contributed to the the Fit & Food Connection. The Fit & Food Connection provides access to healthy food, fitness classes, holistic group wellness education, and one on one coaching to St. Louis communities in need.
------------- COVID info: Masks are required inside the store. Distancing encouraged and our mats will be 6 feet apart (unless you live with the person next to you.) The event is limited to the first 24 people to sign up. You may flow without a mask and of course enjoy mimosas too. Please stay home if you feel unwell.

05/17/2021(2 events) 9:30 am: POWER YOGA –
Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, linking them with your breath. Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike. My style is to take you through a variation of Sun A & Sun B to warm up the spine and then the hips. Then we learn a flow in chunks and put it all together for that dance with breath. We then move into core work and cool down, finally landing in that magical end pose - savasana. You are encouraged to share any specific body part you might need to address in your practice in that moment. I do my best to honor requests and tailor portions of class for you. 12360 Manchester Rd #206 St. Louis, MO 63131 United States 314-821-1878 11:00 am: DEEP STRETCH / RESTORE –
Deep Stretch / Restore is an active stretching class that targets primary muscle groups surrounding the hips, hamstrings and upper back. Living in a forward facing, seated world, these areas tend to be tight for everyone. Tight muscles can cause imbalance and pull the body out of alignment. This class begins with warm-up movements to build heat and prepare the muscles for stretching. MANY poses are done on the floor and held for 1-2 minutes. Holding poses for longer periods of time and focusing on breath gives the body time to fully relax and open. Deep Stretch / Restore is an accessible class that everyone needs – athletes, advanced practitioners, weekend warriors, first time yoga students and everyone in between. Focused stretching allows muscles to relax and lengthen, which puts less strain on the skeletal system and reduces tension throughout the body. Students who take this class regularly report fewer injuries and improved sleep. Restore is a great class for first time yoga students. Neither experience nor flexibility are required, just an open mind and a willingness to have fun while trying something new. We are once again using props and I invite students to take 2 blocks, a strap and at least one bolster each class. We use all props for supporting the intention of the class - to leave feeling restored. Find your way to this class for restoring your body and mind with soothing shapes and gentle movements intended for recovery and rest.

05/18/2021(1 event) 6:30 pm: YOGA FOR ATHLETES –
Athletes recognize how paramount fluid breathwork is to supporting a relaxed body and mind when performing at a physical limit. Climbers specifically. So, we begin each class focusing on our breath and slowing it into deep diaphragmatic breathing. Once connecting to this centering, stress-relieving ingredient, we begin moving energy though our bodies with a vinyasa flow, core work and stretching exercises, that will build strength for the cruxes of our chosen sport. Complementing your athletic endeavors with a regular yoga practice, you can benefit from improved stamina, flexibility, agility and centering. In addition, yoga enhances proprioception, a vital ingredient in all sports. This class will be tailored to athletes and specifically climbers, so we can all stay in tip top mental and physical shape through this "re-entry" timeframe.

This SURRENDER class is streamed online for members of Life Time. It is filmed live from their Frontenac, MO location, and is lead by me holding these shapes right along with you! What to ExpectThis slow, meditative yin yoga practice, designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues, is a nice complement to your "yang" yoga and fitness classes. You will breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses on your mat. Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It's slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune in to your mind and body. Equipment UsedYoga Mat. If you have props you'd like to include, you might add in blocks and / or bolsters. Don't have blocks or bolsters but want support? Try substituting a thick hardback book for a block or pillows for bolsters. Life Time Frontenac 2051 South Lindbergh Blvd Frontenac, MO 63131 6:00 pm: SUNSET SUP YOGA WED –
In this floating yoga class we incorporate elements of yoga and breathing to help you find more balance both on and off of a paddleboard. Expect to have fun while challenging your individual edges of flexibility, focus, strength and balance. Beginners welcome as no yoga nor paddlebaording experience is necessary. The available time is 90 minutes, with 45 minutes dedicated to yoga, 15 minutes of free paddling & photo opportunities, and 30 to get setup and return to the dock. You will rent or bring your own SUP board and tether it to one of three moor lines in the water using the carabiner supplied. The moor line allows for floating 6+ feet apart, and you'll be breathing in the air of the great outdoors, so no worries about recirculated air. The $13 ticket gets you the yoga class. You must either bring your own SUP board or rent one of the 16 available at Creve Coeur Lake Rentals. You may only rent the board after 6pm. Please allow time to park, sign their waiver and pay them the $12 to rent the board. Class begins at 6:30. This class start & end time are related to sunset, so it changes throughout the summer. There are no refunds for Sunset SUP Yoga. In the event of weather causing a cancellation of class, you may reschedule yours to a future date. TICKETSSUP YOGA Q&AWhat should I wear and bring? You can wear usual yoga clothing or shorts that you don't mind getting wet. You may choose to wear a swimsuit. It's your choice. If it's a sunny day, don't forget sunblock and a cheap pair of sunglasses (in case you lose them). Also, a towel might be nice for your ride home after. Please leave any valuables in your locked car and arrive with enough time to find parking and get initiated to paddleboarding. What if I fall in the water? The paddleboards we use are all Glide stand-up paddleboards. They're large, sturdy and the waters are generally calm unless it's a super windy day. We are each clipped onto a moor line that will assure your board stays in the class and all facing the same direction. The lake is about 15 feet deep where we float our class. As long as you know how to swim and are comfortable around water, you will be fine. The idea of falling keeps you focused in class for sure, but those who do fall in, end up bravely attempting even bolder moves. I've seen it often. If you fall, you just get right back on the board. Is yoga harder on water? Being on a board offers you the opportunity to fine tune your attention to this exact moment. It may be said it's more "difficult" in the sense that you need to pay attention to alignment, foot placement, and smooth fluidity of movement in order to maintain balance and stability on the board. It's harder to simply mimic postures you know and "cheat" through muscle memory. You will learn more about how you center and trust in your stabilizer muscles intensely.

This SURRENDER class is streamed online for members of Life Time. It is filmed live from their Frontenac, MO location, and is lead by me holding these shapes right along with you! What to ExpectThis slow, meditative yin yoga practice, designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues, is a nice complement to your "yang" yoga and fitness classes. You will breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses on your mat. Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It's slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune in to your mind and body. Equipment UsedYoga Mat. If you have props you'd like to include, you might add in blocks and / or bolsters. Don't have blocks or bolsters but want support? Try substituting a thick hardback book for a block or pillows for bolsters. Life Time Frontenac 2051 South Lindbergh Blvd Frontenac, MO 63131 6:00 pm: SUNSET SUP YOGA WED –
In this floating yoga class we incorporate elements of yoga and breathing to help you find more balance both on and off of a paddleboard. Expect to have fun while challenging your individual edges of flexibility, focus, strength and balance. Beginners welcome as no yoga nor paddlebaording experience is necessary. The available time is 90 minutes, with 45 minutes dedicated to yoga, 15 minutes of free paddling & photo opportunities, and 30 to get setup and return to the dock. You will rent or bring your own SUP board and tether it to one of three moor lines in the water using the carabiner supplied. The moor line allows for floating 6+ feet apart, and you'll be breathing in the air of the great outdoors, so no worries about recirculated air. The $13 ticket gets you the yoga class. You must either bring your own SUP board or rent one of the 16 available at Creve Coeur Lake Rentals. You may only rent the board after 6pm. Please allow time to park, sign their waiver and pay them the $12 to rent the board. Class begins at 6:30. This class start & end time are related to sunset, so it changes throughout the summer. There are no refunds for Sunset SUP Yoga. In the event of weather causing a cancellation of class, you may reschedule yours to a future date. TICKETSSUP YOGA Q&AWhat should I wear and bring? You can wear usual yoga clothing or shorts that you don't mind getting wet. You may choose to wear a swimsuit. It's your choice. If it's a sunny day, don't forget sunblock and a cheap pair of sunglasses (in case you lose them). Also, a towel might be nice for your ride home after. Please leave any valuables in your locked car and arrive with enough time to find parking and get initiated to paddleboarding. What if I fall in the water? The paddleboards we use are all Glide stand-up paddleboards. They're large, sturdy and the waters are generally calm unless it's a super windy day. We are each clipped onto a moor line that will assure your board stays in the class and all facing the same direction. The lake is about 15 feet deep where we float our class. As long as you know how to swim and are comfortable around water, you will be fine. The idea of falling keeps you focused in class for sure, but those who do fall in, end up bravely attempting even bolder moves. I've seen it often. If you fall, you just get right back on the board. Is yoga harder on water? Being on a board offers you the opportunity to fine tune your attention to this exact moment. It may be said it's more "difficult" in the sense that you need to pay attention to alignment, foot placement, and smooth fluidity of movement in order to maintain balance and stability on the board. It's harder to simply mimic postures you know and "cheat" through muscle memory. You will learn more about how you center and trust in your stabilizer muscles intensely. Many students sign up again and again, for the fun and challenge offered in this class. You will receive much guidance about how to maintain balance on this floating mat. And no one will be doing their shopping list while moving through poses in this class! Where do I rent the Glide SUP Yoga board? Creve Coeur Lake Rentals is noted on the map below. Be sure to arrive with enough time to find a parking spot and bring your driver's license to rent the board. This year board rental is $12 for our 90 minutes.

Learn to Let GoThis slow, meditative yin-yoga practice is designed to mindfully stress your body’s connective tissues as you breathe into the ever-changing sensations that arise in long-held poses. What to ExpectYou’ll be guided through a series of passive postures, mostly done on the floor. Poses are held for up to several minutes, allowing fascia and joints to gradually compress or release. This class is suitable for all experience levels; you’ll learn to utilize your breath and observe your natural tendencies when faced with discomfort. Why it WorksPhysically, long-held yoga poses mobilize and lubricate the joints and can help make these tissues more flexible. Mentally, these poses challenge you to meet arising resistance with mindfulness and self-compassion, teaching you to find the middle ground between craving and aversion. 12:15 pm: ROOT - Fundamentals –
ROOT Hatha Fundamentals is a signature yoga class of LifePower Yoga at Life Time Frontenac. The intention for ROOT is to provide a welcoming entry point to Life Time Yoga. It is designed for students new to yoga, students dealing with physical limitations or injuries, and experienced students who are looking to slow their practice down. This class has a therapeutic quality to it by allowing students to feel more, look inward and heal deeply. This is held in the large studio at Life Time and has become a family of students who are committed to rewarding their physical, mental and emotional beings with 60 minutes dedicated on each Saturday to their whole being. If you are new or not, this class has something for you. I guide it with loving care and intend for each student to find moments of deep connection to themselves and to discover new curiosity and wonder every week. We have props available again and use them regularly. Your sacred space awaits. Come settle your mind and center you.
