Instructor Spotlight Abbey Daw The newest addition to the Centered CIty staff, I am extremely grateful to be a part of this incredible family and studio.I teach Yoga for Athletes on Tuesday's at 7:15pm, Core Basics on Thursday at 7:15pm, and Yoga for stiffer bodies at 7:30 am. Growing up as an athlete, I have always been the person who loves to feel the body, and be in sensation. The connection I had with my body through my yoga practice allowed me to get through some incredibly hard times in my life, when I was completely disconnected from my body. I also found as an athlete, yoga was the perfect way to restore my body after long endurance runs or bike races. Yoga also gave me the ability mentally to push through walls, when I wanted to give up during a marathon or bike race. Yoga is also a way to deal with life in general. As a yoga instructor, I want to connect with you in a way to bring you to a place of presence and connection to your mind, body, and spirit.  A place where you can manifest potential that is already there waiting to be discovered.  I will give you the tools that will allow you to step inside your body, so that you can stay long enough to realize your inner power, and most importantly LET GO of the things that are not benefiting you and your overall health and well being.  I have a special ability to help you see your inner truths and authenticity, giving you the opportunity to see what is inside, tapping into an inner strength that is already there.  My favorite thing is witnessing these miracles on the mat every single day that I teach.  My classes will take you to a place within that you have neglected for a while which will allow you to reconnect to your body and life every time you step on your mat.
