I offer private instruction to accommodate the needs of the individual student. These focused sessions can be beneficial whether you are a beginner who wishes to learn the basics or you are an experienced practitioner looking to refine your practice.
With 25 years of experience working as a licensed physician assistant and attending disease specific advanced yoga trainings I provide specialized and informed instruction to individuals living with medical conditions such as cancer, arthritis and osteoporosis. In addition, I can advise otherwise healthy individuals who wish to adapt their yoga practice to accommodate injury or navigate the natural changes occurring as we age.

This 75-minute class is mainly a floor-based practice. The first half of the class engages the body in breathwork, gentle stretching, and movement. The remainder of the class is a series of postures each held for several minutes with the support of bolsters, blankets, and blocks. This allows for a gradual release of physical tension, a letting go of effort, and an invitation to “undo”. There is a short guided body scan meditation making this practice relaxing, balancing and restorative for both the body and mind.

This 75 minute class focuses on gentle stretching to improve flexibility and mobility in muscles and joints. Core exercises will support a healthy spine that can lead to improved posture. A sequence of standing poses helps build strength in muscles and bones improving balance and resilience. A short rest and body scan meditation are used to bring energetic balance back to both the mind and body. Throughout the practice, we utilize the power of breath to support active movement bringing energy and vitality to the body and to calm and soothe the nervous system to bring ease and well-being during rest and meditation.

This one hour class is for students who would like to introduce more challenges into their yoga practice - not by simply moving faster, but rather by going deeper. A slow to moderate pace allows time to appreciate proper alignment of the body within a pose and the ability to go deeper in order to build strength. We combine flow - moving a sequence of poses with breath and holding poses for several breaths, to build strength in both muscle and bone and to improve coordination and balance.
