About me
About me
I'm a certified Yoga Therapist with more than three decades of training and experience in a variety of yoga disciplines. My unique combination of clinical training and studio teaching experience foster a soothing quality in my approach.
I teach a breath-centered practice and believe in the power of slowing down as a key to health and overall well-being.
My specialties include customized classes for older adults, people dealing with persistent pain, injury, or the grief process, and programs for the visually impaired.
