Teacher Bio

Martha Atkins loves that yoga is truly for everyone. She sees yoga as the exploration of being human, alive, and breathing. As one practices regularly regardless of why they started it’s so clear to her the transformations that take place as balance begins to happen. She has experienced in her own practice the ability to recognize things like stressful thinking, reactions, patterns, and is learning little by little to shift focus and energy toward things that grow health and vitality, away from worry and anxiety. A lifelong practice! Sometimes yoga sounds like it’s a mystical or strange spiritual practice, it’s not. It’s about managing stress, recognizing culprits, and learning to move and be more like when we were young! It’s about being alive and how we experience it.

Martha loves making yoga accessible, practical, and grounded. Exactly where you and I are at that moment finding what we need, letting go of what we don’t.
