What Is Oozy Yoga?
My oldest son, Collin, brought home his new black cat, Oozy, from college.
We all could see Oozy was living in a completely different frequency: so ALIVE . . . curious, playful AND intentional.
Even resting, Oozy was present. His mind was still there. He was slowly breathing and observing.
We can be Oozy, too.
Classes at The Nest
Sunrise and Align
Fridays, 6:00 AM at The Nest: An all-levels class starting seated with somatic breathing and intentional floor stretching, moving to sun salutations and standing poses that open the heart. Second half of class is all on the floor with hip opening and spine strengthening poses that calm the nervous system and create space between your thoughts. We end with cool down and savasana to reset.
Weekend Align and Play
Sundays, 3:00 PM at The Nest: A slightly more challenging version of Sunrise and Align that invites you to add to your practice and open your mind.

Meet Greg
I grew up a strange, introverted kid in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. Eventually, I escaped to the University of South Carolina where I miraculously earned a B.S. in Finance, and afterwards wondered why I picked Finance. Realizing Pennsylvania wasn't so bad and starving was considerably less appealing than joining the workforce, I moved back home.
Life got bigger: I became a single father to my son, Collin; I met my future wife, Holly, and we had 2 kids together, Amelia & Calvin. Holly passed away from breast cancer in 2014 and, as i believe now, moved to the next phase of being. But at the time, for all I knew, I was a single father of three in this difficult material world.
Luckily, I acquired a pinched nerve, leading to surgery, leading to a painful lower back. "Lucky" because the pain led me to hot yoga. And hot yoga led me to discover more in the next few years than i discovered in all of my life previously --- discovering for myself that, thankfully, this isn't just a material world.
That eventual realization made me very grateful, and spurred me on. And as they say, it didn't lead to answers --- but finally, i was collecting my own questions. Through practicing different forms of yoga, through stories of consciousness, and through meditation and breathing, I found that, for me, it's the questions that make life worth living.
What is more exciting than challenging our everyday perception of reality? It's all out there, just like it's all within. As above, so below.
What's in it for us? --- "A new world, if we can take it." --- Whitley Strieber.
