Courtney Czachor

Hi! I’m Courtney and I’ve been practicing yoga since 2014. I am a Yoga Alliance Certified E-RYT 500. I attained my 200hr Yoga Teaching Certification from The Yoga Loft in 2017. I then pursued my 300hr advanced training with My Vinyasa Practice under the guidance of Michelle Young in 2020. I live in Albrightsville, PA with my husband and our pug named Cleo! Ever since yoga found me in college, I’ve been practicing ever since. I think the most important thing in yoga is to trust yourself and be patient with your body. My goal is to create a playful, safe and joyous practice where my students can explore and be curious, build strength on and off the mat, break down boundaries and start living more fully. My teaching style is gentle yet strong, authentic and non-judgmental. I want my students to feel confident both on and off the mat. My classes offer a welcoming space to soften, become present, and explore. I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. In my eyes Yoga isn't just about the moves you do on the mat, but it's the feeling you get when you leave your mat!
In this 60 minute workshop we will take normal yoga poses that we know and love, add light weights and do a combination of repetitions to hold us in the pose for longer, but at the same time work new muscle groups. We do a section of arms, upper body, lower body and at the end core. This class is meant to have fun in, and challenge yourself while working at your own pace. So if you miss a rep or need to get out of a pose early, there is no shame!This class does not have a “flow” like a regular class, it is very stop and go, and we take breaks as needed. This class is great for gaining range of motion. A greater range of motion means increased flexibility and greater muscle strength. Lighter weights will also allow the targeted muscle to handle the load without needing help from compensatory muscles, ensuring you get the most out of your workout for that particular muscle group. If you are looking to add a little extra strength to your workouts and to add more of a strong foundation to your yoga practice, this is the class for you!You must bring your own weights. They can be anywhere from 1-5 pounds. If you don’t have weights, filled water-bottles, blocks, or anything else can be used instead! This class can also be done without weights, if you choose. Please bring water and/or a towel. But most importantly bring yourself and have fun!
