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.

06/09/2024(1 event) 4:30 pm: ROOT HATHA – 
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.

06/10/2024(2 events) 10:30 am: Yin Yoga at Shanti Tower Grove – 
Yin Yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses. We will combine the body practice with some mindfulness exercises to slow the mind and bring about the parasympathetic healing state with a slow and steady approach. Holding the Yin Yoga poses in stillness as best we can, will allow the passive, long holds to strengthen and hydrate critical joint tissues in a way that most other practices cannot. Yin exercise targets the body’s connective tissues—including the ligaments, bones, cartilage, and tendons—as well as myofascia and three-dimensional web fascia, all major but often ignored components of flexibility, mobility, strength, and structure. We will unwind tension in the body to bring long-lasting relief and health to the body’s critical “invisible half,” refreshing our minds to bring clarity and deeper understanding, and create spaciousness in the heart to let us live and love with greater ease and more joy. Shanti Tower Grove 6:30 pm: Sunset SUP Yoga – 
Invite that courageous soul to experience Mother Nature and dive deep into your strengths of balance and centered attention. We float in an outdoor classroom, anchored in a setting on the lake in front of the Boathouse at Forest Park. These classes are provided free of charge by Big Muddy Adventures during the summer months 2024. Class begins at 6:30 and ends at 7:30pm. Big Muddy at the Boathouse closes at 8pm. |
06/11/2024(2 events) 9:15 am: FLOW Heated – 
Build physical and mental strength as you flow through a dance-like series of yoga poses, drawing on the breath as your inner source of power in this energizing class. What to ExpectSet to heart-pumping music in a heated studio, this athletic class will shine a light on the reactivity of your mind. My sequencing builds throughout the 60 minutes to prepare your body for flowing in the finale flow. After a spinal warmup with an intentional Sun A and hip warmup with a Sun B designed to target the body parts we'll activate and lengthen in our Sun C, you will feel prepared for the series of flowing yoga sequenced specifically for you to explore poses on your own, moving at your personal pace. Your breath will guide you to a state of mental calm in the midst of this powerfully energetic experience. Why it WorksFLOW is designed to reveal and cultivate your own internal resources — the rhythm of your breath, the steadiness of your mind and the strength of your body — so you can face life’s challenges with confidence and poise. 11:45 am: ARORA Gentle Yoga –

06/15/2024(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 –
