Class Descriptions

​Resilience Yoga: My signature all-levels mat yoga class in which I design for an intermediate level but often lead participants first into easier expressions of postures and then offer opportunities to “dial-up” the challenge if one desires and is ready for it.

Learn Yoga Basics: In this series for the true beginner, I assume no yoga experience or knowledge. The first Tuesday of each month begins a new series of ~4 classes (depending on how many Tuesday classes occur in a month), and we add new postures and a bit more challenge each week.

​Gentle Yoga: A mat class that incorporates more warm-ups and then sticks with gentler postures, a slower pace, and encourages frequent use of props to keep the practice focused more on lubricating & loosening joints & muscles more than deep stretching and challenging strength.

Chair Yoga: A practice in which we do yoga breathing and then postures and other movements while seated or, depending on participants’ abilities, standing & holding on to a chair.

Meditation: A practice that incorporates various techniques in pranayama (breath control), mantra (verbalized or silent short phrases), body scan, candle-gazing, and more in order to still the waves of the mind.

Barre: A 45-minute class in which we do high-energy, ballet-inspired movements and static stretches as well as elements of yoga, Pilates & strength training while often holding on to a barre. Movements alternate between sets of slower, full-range movements and reps of faster, smaller pulses. Classes end with yoga as a cool-down and final stretch.

Mat Pilates: A class focused on strengthening and stretching the body’s “powerhouse”, consisting of the core, low back, pelvic floor, hips, and glutes.

”Bohemian” Tai Chi/Qigong: This 45-minute class is a stripped-down, simplified class of slow, continuous movements inspired by traditional Asian practices enabling one to gain the benefits of muscle loosening and enhanced muscle control & balance without the formal, rigid structure that normally takes many months or even years to fully learn.
I also teach one class per week at KEEP IT OFF FITNESS in Center Court, New Hartford Shopping Ctr: YOGA Tuesdays at 8:00am. No sign-up; $12 drop-in, $10/class for 5-class punch-card, or $9/class for a 10-class punch-card... 90-day exp.
Private Sessions
One-on-One Session Cost
 is $65/hr or $250/5-session punch-card, or $400/10-session punch-card. Sessions and multi-session packages expire within 6 months of purchase. Gift certificates can be purchased that expire one year from date of purchase. VIRTUAL SESSIONS can also now be arranged.

Small Group Sessions (2-3 people) can also be arranged. Cost is that for one-on-one sessions plus $10/hr/extra person. There are many benefits to participating in small groups, the most valuable
 being when one or all participants would not otherwise come without the support of and sense of obligation to the other members of the group. One example is an elderly parent who would benefit from one-on-one individualized sessions but is too intimidated to participate alone and could therefore have the support of their child as a fellow participant. Or, in another example, adult sisters who both feel too busy to carve out time for self-care but could participate together to reinforce for one another the fundamental truth that taking care of themselves is the best way to thus be able to take care of others. Note: Group sessions larger than 3 people can be arranged.
