About
I provide group and one-on-one yoga and meditation classes, as well as private yoga therapy sessions.
My background education is in exercise science, which allows me to direct my yoga therapy expertise on a person's specific musculoskeletal issues.
I have taught yoga for nearly 20 years and love helping people find their best selves on a physical, mental and emotional level.
You can find more information about me on my website - www.di4yoga.com
My passion is helping tailor yoga and meditation practices to each individuals personal needs at the time we're working together. Making yoga and meditation accessible to everyone is one of my strong points.
I have worked with all age groups: kids through octogenarians. Working with adults is my preference, as I really love the back and forth communication, It helps me dig deeper into finding the best sequencing and pacing for the person.
I've taught in gyms, and numerous yoga studios. I work yearly with a military housing group, and also offer (currently) online evening yoga with post session chat sessions.
My educational background is in exercise science, but I fell in love with yoga over 20 years ago, and haven't looked back once.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing is dependent upon the number of students, and the venue. (In my home studio, the studio I teach group classes in, or at a student's home)
How did you get started teaching?
I was a personal trainer and recognized that I had a calling to teach yoga.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a wide variety of students. Most of my current students are between the ages of 30 and 70. I teach one-on-one sessions based on each person's individual wants and needs.
Many students have orthopedic issues, or other musculoskeletal needs. May people come to me after they have finished physical therapy, to continue their healing process.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I teach yearly for Lincoln Military Housing. It's an honor to work with military families. This year, because of Covid, I had the opportunity to offer yoga to a wider group, since all classes were live streamed. It was so great seeing families practice yoga together.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I think it's of utmost importance that a student get as much information on a prospective teacher as possible, and to see if there is an appropriate "fit" between the individuals.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Where they will feel most comfortable taking the class, and how much they are willing to pay for the teacher's services.
