yogaYoga helps tone the body, building both flexibility and strength, as well as quiet the mind and cultivate awareness.  Conscious Movement offers a variety of classes for all skill levels.  Gentle Yoga is ideal for beginners and anyone who wants a light workout.  The All Levels Flow is suited for any skill level and Power Yoga is an advanced class that provides a more intense workout.

Phaedra has a B.A in Psychology and minor in Public Health from the University of North Florida. She loves to hike, bike and drop in for yoga classes in various cities across the country.

yogaBeverly is a World Golf Village resident who loves yoga. She is a registered and certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Phoenix Rising Yoga Teacher, Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, as well as a Reiki Practitioner. She is currently studying to complete her 500 hour Yoga certification (Spring 2013) and is on the Yoga Teacher Training staff at Discovery Yoga in St. Augustine. Beverly’s classes and personal instruction emphasize breath/body awareness, core control, and a mind/body connection. She feels that each student is their own most wise teacher and self-acceptance is an integral part of optimal health, well being, and happiness. Incorporating the “Yang” of postures and movement with the “Yin” of stillness in mind and body can bring balance, restoration, and stress relief.
