Classes
INDIVIDUAL YOGA / YOGA THERAPY
I offer private yoga instruction for those who are new to the practice (or just returning) and may need some individual guidance before joining a group practice. I also offer private Yoga Therapy for people who desire an individualized practice(s) to accommodate unique health conditions (i.e. scoliosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, balance impairments, chronic conditions, MS, Parkinson’s, etc). For a full description of Yoga Therapy - what it is and what can offer you, check this out: YogaTherapy.Health .

JOURNEY OF THE JOINTS
This class explores the benefits & healing potential of movement. Flowing from a series developed at the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, we exercise different parts of the body in a gentle way, to bring muscles and joints that have been “forgotten” over the years back into our awareness. Muscles that may have weakened will be gently strengthened so that the body can be held in a harmonious & natural position. Posture is improved so that energy may flow again while circulation is increased to different parts of the body. These yogic exercises are neither complex nor difficult and can be done seated and/or standing.
