Not at all. Beginners are welcome. Many of my students have never taken a yoga class before.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. No gear needed, though you might like a water bottle. You're welcome to practice barefoot or in supportive footwear, but stocking feet are too slippery.

There is no floor work in this class. It does include a (shorter) standing practice in addition to chair work. While standing, we’ll often hold the back of the chair (or sometimes a counter or wall), and I give options so participants can work at a level that feels right for them.

That's completely normal. We all come to yoga with different body histories and days when symptoms flare up.

I'll help you find a skillful approach for a given day. Sometimes that means doing less, sometimes more, and sometimes something different altogether. The goal is to find a practice that works for you.

Many people in my classes have health concerns, aches and pains, injuries, or changes that come with aging. As a yoga therapist, I’m used to adapting movement to the individual. If you have a new or acute injury, recent surgery, a significant change in your health, or questions about whether the class is right for you, please contact me before registering.

I offer one-on-one yoga therapy for those who would like sessions tailored more specifically to their goals, health concerns, and circumstances.
