Yoga for dance, posture and wellbeing

I am a Yoga Alliance-certified instructor, YA#373412. I also hold a chair yoga teaching certificate. I teach yoga in person and on Zoom. I emphasize correct alignment in each pose so that you can work efficiently and injury-free. Some people are hyper-flexible and need to strengthen their bodies and to protect their joints. Others are challenged in terms of flexibility and need a program to gently move them forwards. I find that everyone can improve their balance, and I include balance work in each class.

Are you hypermobile?

As a hypermobile person, I have spent a lifetime learning (still learning!) how to build stability into my body. I can help you develop skills to strengthen your body and protect yourself from injury in yoga practice. I have many tango and yoga students with hypermobility or EDS, and I continually expand my knowledge of how to provide support to our bodies!

Mat class group lessons (in person)

I currently run a small group lesson at 12:30 on Wednesdays and Fridays at my home studio. This class has 4-5 people of all ages and abilities. I choose to teach a very small class to ensure that everyone gets the attention they need and the modifications they desire to get the most out of the hour. Most people are regulars, but there is usually a space open if you look on the registration page.

Yoga private lessons (in person/on Zoom)

I teach private in person and Zoom yoga lessons weekly. If you like the one-on-one attention to your practice, or if you are hesitant to take group classes, this is the way to go. I can tailor the class 100% to your needs, provide you with work to do on your own, and adjust as needed to your travel or work schedule.

Yoga + dance!

Many of my private tango students use yoga to improve their posture, balance and strength. We often take a few minutes from a dance class to work on a pose or exercise that will benefit dancing. I am happy to combine both practices into one lesson!
