I have been practicing yoga for 15 years and teaching for two. I have taught more than 400 classes and private lessons, mostly Hatha, Yin, and chair. I prefer working with mature adults who have a desire to learn and grow, both physically and spiritually. My goal is simply to serve others.

Start where the client is—ask questions and watch bodies. Provide accurate cues and modify asanas to keep clients safe.

A brief discussion of his/her health and goals. The session includes a centering activity, then warm-up. Most of the session will include progressively challenging Hatha poses and flows. I usually incorporate a few Yin poses as we cool down, followed by savasana (a time to integrate and rest).

I worked with a retired teacher, who came to my classes for over a year (until I moved to Texas in July). She went from being inflexible and generally anxious to being comfortable and stable in every poses and desirous of longer savasanas (always a good sign). She said my classes were full of grace.

I ride my bike, teach body balance classes to mature adults, play chess and guitar. I love to hike and listen to live music.
