I am an exercise specialist and yoga instructor in private practice. I have a particular interest in working with adults over 50, and with people who have special needs and conditions. I have a solid background in rehabilitative exercise, providing my clients with supervision and safe exercise progression, in collaboration with physical therapy or afterwards. I call my approach personalized, because in my experience everyone brings something different to our work together – there are no one-size-fits all exercises or “typical” clients.

My approach to yoga looks at the balance between personal structure and “ideal” principles of alignment. I emphasize breath awareness and unconditional friendliness towards oneself. My aim is to lead my classes with kindness and good humor - to create an environment where each student feels welcome, safe and open to learning. I was a student of Iyengar yoga from 1990 – 2005, and since then have broadened and deepened my understanding through workshops, retreats and self study.
