Hello! I am a Los Angeles-based yoga teacher who recently relocated to the east coast. Please keep reading to get my thoughts on teaching and the unique qualities of yoga. Yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice. I use the one-on-one setting to tailor a session that matches my clients needs. I greatly encourage the intelligent use of props to enhance the effect of the practice. My clients are quite varied- office workers, martial arts students, seasoned yoga practitioners, body builders, chefs and so on. This is a testament to the effectiveness of yoga for anyone and everyone. The term "therapeutics" is overused these days, but what I will say is my goal with yoga is to lead students toward space in their body. Ultimately this often translates to a certain healing. Students come to me with varied circumstance, but a few common ones are: Lumbar/sacral pain Frozen shoulder/rotator cuff injuries Knee considerations including ligament/tendon tears and dislocation Hypermobility/a need for strength training Neck injuries, often stemming from past car accidents All the various circumstances brought upon by extended hours sitting in front of a computer. I love teaching, and I love helping people discover that they can play a role in their own healing. If you have specific area of focus, or simply want to deepen your practice, please reach out!
