Private Yoga Instruction

Private lessons offer one-on-one attention to support your body awareness and healing. We focus on your individual concerns and adapt the practice to your evolving needs.

Small Group Yoga Classes

Small group classes of three or four students are an opportunity for both individual support and community. You can learn from one another and deepen social connections.

 

Areas of Specialty in Yoga

 

Yoga for People with Parkinson’s

Doctors understand now that physical movement slows down the onset of Parkinson’s Disease. Doctors recommend a varied movement/ exercise routine for people with Parkinson’s that includes both aerobic activity like walking, biking or boxing and slower more focused movement like yoga. A yoga practice tailored to your needs can help you retain strength and mobility, improve your balance and stimulate new neural pathways. Yoga practice can improve your gate and reduce falling. The meditative quality of yoga will help you to stay centered and manage the ongoing challenges of PD. The National Parkinson’s Foundation recommends yoga for people with Parkinson’s.

Yoga can be beneficial at all stages of recovery and rehabilitation from a stroke.

 

Yoga for Navigating Cancer Treatment

My work with people healing from cancer is tailored to each person’s unique needs and concerns. We consider your previous body history, limitations due to surgery, chemo and radiation treatments and overall energy level. Together, we'll discuss your goals: what you would like to focus on in your yoga practice and throughout your overall cancer treatment.  A personalized yoga practice can help nourish you during treatment and rebuild your strength and confidence after treatment.


How we move- where we initiate movement, and how we support ourselves- is more important than the shapes we make.  The more present we can be in our bodies, the more potential there is for integrated movement and healing.

A Yoga practice gives us opportunities to breathe into pleasurable sensations like joy and into uncomfortable sensations that we tend to guard ourselves against like frustration, pain, and loss. Yoga cultivates resilience, curiosity and courage.
