Private Classes



Like a compass, I am here to guide you using the fusion of the oldest forms of healing; touch, integration of breath work, movement and mindfulness.

*Sessions can last from 1-2 hours based on purpose and needs. First class involves an assessment of any medical, physical or emotional issues to determine best approach for client.

*Private sessions are by referral and for those ready to discover well-being/health/mindset is wholistic. Yoga stretches you to reveal answers to your mental list of W's...why? when? who? what? wow...I never knew.

*Prices are based on time, location and needs of client.

*I bring all the supplies...mat, blankets, props, music and more. You bring your presence.

*I have guided a full range of clients from professional athletes to physicians. All learned how to integrate the alchemy of breathing, meditation and movement for a balanced well-being.

*I have worked with clients with a variety of health challenges, ranging from cancer to strokes. Therapeutic yoga shifts the nervous system to "rest and digest" mode...the state the mind/body needs to heal.

*Thai yoga is not a massage, it is better. It is a magical shift of energies. It is offered as an isolated service or can be integrated in a continuous client's choice of elements to experience.

Practicing yoga since I was 41 has made a significant impact on my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Six years later, I am in the best shape I have ever been...ever. So, with that said, let's see what is going on with this ancient practice of yoga. Last article gave a synopsis of the seven chief glands. To keep it simple, (good philosophy, by the way) the first gland to be addressed is the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is right above each kidney. Their primary function is to release hormones in response to stress. These stress hormones are cortisol, epinephrine and aldosterone. Cortisol and epinephrine get the heart to beat faster, gets the digesti

Inversions, Hormones and Yoga

Inversions are an integral component of not only a good yoga practice, but good health. As kids, we used to hang upside down from the jungle gym like monkeys, do somersaults, or swing as high as possible gripping the swing's chain and leaning back to get the feel of flying. Little did we know it, but our bodies were getting some great internal benefits. Besides being fun and giving a sense of daring to play to edges, we were giving our endocrine system a chance to share its magic. Use your yoga practice to re-ignite the smiles you had just being a kid. And, for goodness sakes, do not let the ingrained thought "I'm too old to do this..." deter you from doing what can make you happy at any age. First of all, there are medical contraindications for inversions. It depends on the style of inversion and the physical ailment. (When in doubt, leave it out...until you discuss it with your doctor.)  The body's glands, or endocrine system, produce approximately 50 hormone
