I provide one-on-one yoga classes, yoga classes for celebrations (family reunions, bachelorette parties and birthdays) and corporate classes for offices. Yoga is for all ages, sizes and abilities and we’ll work together to meet your individual needs or tailor the classes to the needs of your group. I specialize in working one-on-one with women 55+ who want to stay active well into their retirement years through yoga and personal training (or a combination of both!). I have also completed an Adaptive Yoga Certification to help students with a wide range of conditions including: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower extremity amputations, stroke causing hemiplegia and other deficits, spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

I am also offering classes via Zoom for those who prefer not to meet in-person right now. Whatever your personal preferences, I’m happy to accommodate!

My training experience

After many years of feeling like yoga was reserved for the flexible, I signed up for yoga teacher training with Gerhard Gessner at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla. During the training, I learned to turn my weakness into strength by creating playful sequences that go beyond stretching and tap into the true benefits of personal practice. I have focused my career on helping others become healthier.

I hold a Fitness Instruction & Exercise Science Certification from UCSD extension where I expanded my knowledge of metabolic diseases, nutrition for athletes and exercise for special populations including older adults, pregnant women and youth fitness. I work with private yoga and personal training clients, ages 12 to 91, and I teach vinyasa flow classes with an emphasis on proper alignment and breath-work.

I have worked with a broad range of ages, abilities and sizes. From athletes in their 20s to fitness enthusiasts with knee and shoulder replacements in their 80s. My oldest student will be 91 this year! I believe everyone can find joy in moving their bodies, it's just a matter of finding what type of movement appeals to them.
