Hello Friends....
​
I am a Graduate of Shiva Shanti Yoga School,
I also have a Chair Yoga and Accessible Yoga Certifications.
I currently have 500 plus teaching hours.
I decided to become a yoga teacher because of the transformation I have experienced through my yoga practice: peace of mind, greater body awareness
and well-being.
Currently I teach Mixed Level Flow and Alignment classes at Shiva Shanti Yoga School. I also teach Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga at Clifton Senior Center, Cresskill Library and East Rutherford Library, Daughters Of Miriam assisted living, Clifton, NJ.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages.
My special interest is in working with the senior population and in doing so I have developed a deeper sense of the aging body and its’ needs.
​
The focus of my classes are about gaining: flexibility, alignment, balance and strength, which are common body issues in all age groups so the teacher must be mindful of the students’ needs.
My classes are organized around a Yoga practice
which stresses:
- A slow and gentle pace
- Simplicity and focus
- Letting go of any expectations or presumptions
of what yoga is in relationship to age.
I teach with and encourage use of props help ease the student into the pose. As a teacher of yoga, I am here to serve the student.
