About
You are unique. In order to nourish your health & potential, you need support as distinctive as you. Where do you want to grow?
I offer highly individualized, personal practices designed for the evolution of you and refined as you grow. Let me support your development and continuation of a ongoing practice. A regular personal practice allows for re-habituation of the human system in body as well as mind. It can bring about awareness of old patterns and create a support for change. A personal practice can incorporate a range of different tools including movement, breathing practices, chanting or making sound, meditation, and diet & lifestyle recommendations.
An appropriately tuned, consistent practice can assist to reduce stress and anxiety, rehabilitate an injury, gain clarity & confidence, ease chronic pain, support yourself through a difficult transition, break habits that hold you back from your potential, establish better relationships, and recover from trauma.
I offer private consultations, stress-relief for the office, group classes (meditation, hatha yoga, power yoga, restorative yoga, gentle yoga, chair yoga, adaptive yoga), workshops, lectures, training creation, & corporate classes. I have been teaching mindful movement and mediation since 2005 with 200 & 500-hour yoga teacher and Yoga Therapist certifications. Learn more at mysvaha.net.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Scheduling a phone call is helpful for me to understand your gaols and how I can best assist you. We create an appropriate plan together. Do you want a single meeting or are you looking for ongoign support?
Private classes (one-on-one meetings) can take on a range of different appearances based on needs and interest. The first meeting will always include an intake. Private classes can include a mix of guided movement, yoga philosophy in relation to your personal life experience, chanting instruction, lifestyle & diet recommendations, restorative yoga, breath exercises, and guided meditation.
If you are interested in receiving a practice specifically designed for you, I recommend a commitment to a minimum of three meetings: one 1.5-hour and two 1-hour sessions over a maximum of 2.5 months. The first, longer meeting will include an intake and a yoga practice. From this meeting I design and provide an easy-to-read initial practice for you. For best results, practice daily. The second meeting is scheduled 1 to 1.5 weeks after the initial meeting. We will review your practice, make adjustments, practice other tools, and discuss. Approximately a month later, we will check in again to explore the effects of the practice and continue its refinements as you grow. In order to maintain a personal practice it is important to keep a connection to the teacher. Monthly meetings can continue or more regularly scheduled meetings are available to support your process.
