Yoga To Help Heal

After a thoughtful pause, it feels good to rec***ect here and share an update.

While I continue to teach Chair Yoga and gentle, accessible classes for seniors -- a focus I’ve been dedicated to for many years and remain deeply committed to -- I’m excited to return to teaching mat-based classes with an emphasis on Heart Flow Alignment, weaving together years of training and teaching across multiple yoga traditions. I’m also inspired to offer classes that are tailored to different groups and needs, including adaptive yoga for specific health conditions, women with osteoporosis, mothers, and themed classes for special events and groups.

I’m especially excited to re-ignite my Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practice. Recent advanced training now allows me to bring this transformative, somatic, and reflective work to clients both in person and online, expanding the ways this work can reach and support people.

In a world that feels heavy so much of the time, sharing more love and light through this work feels especially meaningful.

I hope your year is ending well and that you’re enjoying the bright lights and deeper c***ections of the holiday season. ❤️

Since breathing and anxiety are common topics these days, why not take a long inhale, and a deep, letting-go exhale and give this article a read.

Sure makes for a good reason to practice yoga! 😉
