I have devoted over a decade to offering therapeutic yoga privately and in small groups in medical settings, like Physical Therapy clinics for issues including MS and Parkinson’s Disease, Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization recovery programs, with Outreach organizations which serve the incarcerated population, as well as yoga centers, institutional and corporate environments. All of life’s stages have unique challenges, and I am honored to serve clients ages 12-90.
