Born and raised in NYC, Georgia began seriously exploring yoga during college, when it was pointed out to her that in the face of challenges and being uncomfortable, her immediate response was to tense up and hold her breath. Already feeling a need to make some major lifestyle changes, she began seeing an acupuncturist, who suggested she try yoga in an attempt to slow down her frenzied mind and better live in the moment. She had taken yoga classes on and off in the past, but purely from an exercise point of view. As a cardio junkie, she didn't quite understand what all the fuss was about. This time, however, she approached class from a new point of view. She opened herself up to all that yoga might have to offer and soon found that not only did she feel more grounded and centered, but it was one heck of a workout too! Since then, she strives every day to discard the uptight, panicky, fearful Georgia in favor of a more honest and present state of being, while maintaing a rigorous, daily asana practice.
Through teaching yoga, Georgia has found what she believes to be her calling. The concept that she doesn't get to keep what she has gained unless she gives it away plays a major role in her teaching philosophy. Georgia believes that the mental and physical freedom that she has achieved through yoga is available to anybody and everybody. Georgia hopes to make yoga even more accessible to those who wouldn't normally be able to participate in a "luxury" activity such as a yoga class. The irony is that yoga isn't a luxury at all- it's a way of life; an alignment of mind, body, and spirit that brings every being into a fuller living experience.
Georgia also embraces the concepts of "finding your edge". The idea is to push ourselves to our maximum ability, without "falling over the cliff". Whether you are searching for peace of mind, better balance, (on and off the mat), or just looking to sweat, Georgia will help you play with your edge with fun, uplifting, highly physical, and centering classes.
STUDENT FEEDBACK!
"Georgia... I want to let you know that your yoga classes are STILL by far the best I've ever taken (seriously)! I've been meaning to tell you thanks for helping me be a healthier, happier person by introducing me to yoga!! I am so grateful! You are a wonderful yoga instructor"
"Thanks again for class today--I feel better and more "myself" than I have all week! When I came in I felt tired and spacey--now I feel like I finally have some oxygen in my blood."
"Dear Georgia, today I was extremely exhausted and stressed out. I thought, "hmmm what should I do about this?" and did some of the yoga I learned yesterday (nothing crazy though) i honestly felt better afterwards! you are awesome!"
"I'm so excited for you to come back to Bloomington and start up classes again, you're one of my absolute favorite instructors"
