**At this time I am teaching only on Zoom until further notice.  Classes are 60 minutes and limited to 5 students per class to allow for more personal attention.**

I am a Certified Yoga Therapist.  I teach a therapeutic yoga that is especially for students that have been diagnosed with Bone Density Issues, Osteoporosis, and Osteopenia or have bone density issues.  This yoga is also good for improving and increasing postural strenght and stability.

I became aware of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya's teaching and admired his yoga therapy teachings.  I was inspired to find a teacher in his lineage and eventually was certified by Gary Kraftsow's American Viniyoga Institute as a 500 RYT Viniyoga Teacher.  This training has shaped my teaching.  I use the viniyoga philosophy; The refined art and science of sequencing which allows which is designed for maximum enhanced bone and strenght building while keeping the spine and hips safe and aligned.

After teaching beginner yoga for over 15 years, I wanted know more about one thing than know one thing about many things.  I took a course given by Dr. Loren Fishman on his protocol of 12 poses that fight Osteoporosis, based on his 10 year pilot study on these 12 poses.  I am a Certified/Registered Osteoporosis Teacher.  I teach exclusively yoga that safely rebuilds bone density along with balance, strength and self-confidence. I love working with students who have been given a diagnosis of a Bone Density Issue and feel that they have lost their independence.  Watching my students regain their self confidence and get their live back is immensely rewarding.
