Class experience
As with all my classes, this class is a safe place to learn about slow mindful yoga. There are no judgments and no experience is needed. Yoga is a personal journey, I am here to help your learner on that journey. This is a slow mindful yoga class that helps you deal with the stress of your every day. This is not fast-paced yoga but rather a slow yoga with pauses throughout the class to reflect on the poses. The pause and reflection are just as important as the pose as it gives our body and...
1. Students can improve their self-awareness and therefore their interoception. 2. Slow mindful yoga can improve our mind-body connection and help us understand who we are. 3. By allowing the body and mind connection through yoga you can reduce stress. 4. Start a journey of self-awareness, self-confidence, and mindfulness
I am a certified Yoga Alliance yoga teacher. I also a certified wellness coach and meditation guide. I love yoga and I love sharing it along with all of its benefits with my students.
Please also note: yoga is a physical activity and injuries can occur if students aren't supervised Students should have a yoga mat or a towel for class. If you are using a towel please make sure it is not on a slippery surface. Bare feet is preferable as it allows for a better grip. But if you would like to wear socks please make sure they are yoga style socks with grip points on the sole. Please make sure to have water available and comfortable clothing that allows movement. If you want to have a blanket or throw, pillows or eye mask to keep you comfortable during our meditation time please feel free to have them handy.

Please note as a Parent you acknowledge the following: "I acknowledge that my child is participating in classes or services during which they will receive information and instruction about meditation, mindfulness, and yoga. I understand that yoga includes physical movements and I recognize that my child may also choose to do physical movements, such as sitting, standing, and walking during a meditation or mindfulness session. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. As parent or guardian of the minor child participating in class, I am aware that participation in a sport or physical exercises, such as yoga, mindfulness, or meditation, may result in accident or injury, and hereby assume the risk connected with any participation for my child in any yoga, mindfulness or meditation class or services with Nicole Dooley."
There are many studies to support the use of intentions for a positive life such as "Author Lynne McTaggart uses cutting-edge research conducted at Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and other universities and laboratories to reveal that intent is capable of profoundly affecting all aspects of our lives."https://hbr.org/2013/02/the-power-of-intent There are countless studies about the effect of meditation and mindfulness and "Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD sifted through nearly 19,000 meditation studies, they found 47 trials that addressed those issues and met their criteria for well-designed studies. Their findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that mindful meditation can help ease psychological stresses like anxiety, depression, and pain. Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, a psychiatrist at the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, says that mindfulness meditation makes perfect sense for treating anxiety. “People with anxiety have a problem dealing with distracting thoughts that have too much power,” she explains. “They can’t distinguish between a problem-solving thought and a nagging worry that has no benefit.” https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/mindfulness-meditation-may-ease-anxiety-mental-stress-201401086967 The available literature, more than a decade old, on the impact of yoga in children has shown that this mind–body practice has demonstrated positive effects in the control of anger, depression, stress, body dissatisfaction, anxiety as well as improving positive emotion. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2095496417300171
