If stress, anxiety or constant mental chatter follows you through the day, yoga can give you somewhere to put it down. These classes are slow, steady and grounded. You learn to relax the body, settle the breath and quiet the mind, then take those tools into work, family life and difficult moments.
Gentle doesn’t mean easy, and it doesn’t mean advanced. It means practicing with awareness and without strain, at a pace that suits your body. No flexibility or experience is needed.
One-on-one sessions designed around you, your goals and your schedule. Available in Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and nearby East Bay area
Sessions can focus on:
Breathing and relaxation for stress and anxiety
A gentle daily routine you can practice on your own
Meditation basics
Easing tension from desk work, injuries or a busy schedule
Gentle yoga is not necessarily easy or difficult. Its goal is to create a connection between the body and mind, emphasizing balance and inner harmony. In the class, I will guide participants through practices aimed at strengthening the body and restoring balance to the mind, using classical yoga as a tool to improve daily life.

People recovering from sports injuries or feeling stiff or tired: modifications and options for every body
I've been captivated by yoga's unique approach to exploring the mind-body connection since my first class in 2003. My personal journey with sports injuries revealed yoga's profound healing and restorative potential.
In 2017, I deepened my practice by completing the Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) and have been sharing yoga's transformative benefits through regular teaching ever since.
