YOGA
YOGA
For twelve years, I taught at various local studios. I taught Yoga in the ballroom of a local country club...they were gracious hosts and I enjoyed the community very much. While those were all good venues, I am very pleased to be able to offer Yoga in Delmar at the studio I opened in 2024.
Each class begins with breathwork and is followed by a series of poses to stretch and strengthen the body. Class ends with a guided meditation. Please bring your own mat.
Check the schedule above and reserve your spot before coming to class. Occasionally, we need to skip a week. After June 1, classes will move to weekend mornings.

online Training
Designed for you based on your goals. Take the guesswork out of what to do on which days and how to use what you have at home. This works best if we've worked together in person prior to starting an online plan.
These online training plans can be completed in the comfort of your home. Minimal equipment is required for creating a routine. Video demos are included and an app that will guide you.
