Introduction

My passion is people. I love teaching yoga one on one and getting to know what you need from the practice so I can design a plan for your yoga journey. I teach and practice yoga for self-compassion and mental focus. I have several advanced certifications in Yoga Therapeutics, Functional Anatomy, Yoga in Healthcare, and yin yoga. I draw from different yoga, fitness, and, meditation practices to design customized sessions for my clients. Most people I work with want to make a yoga practice part of their weekly routine. Repetition and ritual achieve the best results! However, I also work with people in the short term looking to learn the basics of yoga so they can feel comfortable in a group class, develop techniques to prevent and manage an existing injury, learn some tools to decrease stress, or, to master a tricky pose. I look forward to exploring whatever is leading you to your mat and illuminating how yoga can empower you.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I offer discounts for bulk packages i.e. purchasing 3-10 classes at once in a bundle. You also get a free class if you refer a client to me who books!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I like to do a 10-15 minute intake over the phone just to get to know you a bit before we meet. I'll ask about your previous experience with yoga, any injuries or health concerns you may want to share with me and I will ask what you hope to gain from your yoga practice.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I earned my 200hr RYT from the acclaimed Pure Yoga in NYC in the Vinyasa style yoga with an emphasis on the principles of Iyengar alignment. Additional training at Prema Yoga Therapy Institute in NYC includes: 100 hour Therapeutic Yoga Essentials (centered on applying yoga therapeutically to address the specific needs of the client and modifying for injuries) 25 hour Yin Yoga (a gentle practice to stretch the connective tissue and increase flexibility where poses are held for a long time)

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started practicing yoga around age 10. I've been a lifelong practitioner and became interested in teaching after coordinating a corporate yoga class for the company I worked for at the time and realizing how much it contributed to employee happiness and my own sense of peace and connectedness during my day.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with customers of all level of fitness ranging in age from 7 to 70.
