My goal is to guide my clients to a state of relaxation and connection with their bodies so that physical, mental, and emotional healing can take place.

I view yoga asana as a way to calm the mind by working with the body. During yoga asana practice, we strengthen the body while also becoming more flexible. We become more coordinated and aware as our mind-body connection is strengthened. Strengthening this connection allows us to live a life of deeper intention. We heed the wisdom from our bodies within our yoga practice, then make decisions based on this knowledge.

Increasing our awareness and sensitivity to our body’s signals allows us to make informed life decisions based on what would serve our highest good; physically, mentally, and spiritually. My aim is to create a safe space for people to open up and explore their mind-body safely, with emphasis on breath and alignment. Ultimately, I believe yogic practices are tools for self realization and actualization. And I want everyone to experience that.

“I have been working with Lilly for a few months now, and I can absolutely say that my work with her has been transformative. Lilly consistently creates a safe space in which I am able to reconnect to my body, and find my own personal limits of strength and flexibility through her guidance. Lilly’s focus on breath and body work, as well as emotional and mental well-being makes her practice especially powerful. She is a sensitive and intuitive teacher. I believe Lilly has the potential to be a major leader in the Louisville yoga community.”
