At Be - Conscious Living, LLC, we believe firmly in the words of Ghandi, who said, "We must be the change we want to see in the world." To "be the change" means we must live consciously, become joy, and treat others with respect. We live in a world, however, that rarely fosters personal growth. And thus, our growth becomes our personal responsibility. As we take responsibility, doors seem to open almost effortlessly. We begin to find delight in the world as we gain great compassion for ourselves and others. We develop authentic communication with others, accepting feedback and support more readily. We begin to try a little less, and enjoy life more.

Our mission is to provide outstanding corporate workshops, as well as yoga and meditation, and personal coaching, whereby individuals and corporations manifest their highest vision. In doing so, the world becomes a better place for all of us.

...the yoga

We teach yoga in the style of Baptiste Power Vinyasa. It is an athletic style of yoga that will strengthen your body, build flexibility, calm your mind, and rejuvenate you. Depending on the nature of the class or workshop, we may modify the practice to fit specific group needs. Read more about Baptiste Power Vinyasa at http://www.baronbaptiste.com.
