I began practicing yoga in 2009 as a means to relieve sciatic pain. Within a few weeks, the sciatic pain was gone, and the physical and mental well-being I felt after class kept me coming back for more. Yoga has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and inspires me to live each moment more mindfully. I became a registered yoga teacher in 2012 and I continue to be a student of yoga. I truly believe that yoga is a path to the fountain of youth, as well as a path to overall well-being. My hope is that students step off the mat feeling refreshed, happy and balanced.

Description

Therapeutic Yoga

Suitable for beginners through advanced practitioners. This gentle yoga class utilizes a joint-freeing series of movements to work on joint mobility, range of motion, flexibility, and muscle strength. The series of movements and asanas practiced in this class are helpful for those new to yoga, those recovering from an injury, those looking to improve balance, and those that are experiencing issues such as arthritis, sciatica and tight muscles. Additionally, pranayama breathing exercises and self myofascial release techniques are used to ease tension, tightness and discomfort throughout the body.

“The yoga therapy components of my teaching are based on my Structural Yoga Therapy 22 hour Certification, not derived from my status as an RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance Registry.”
