Mind Body Spirit Yoga
About
I am a retired pediatric physical therapist and a certified yoga instructor. I teach yoga in a studio setting but my passion and skills blossom working one on one. I have skills from my previous occupation that enable me to give clear, safe and individualized yoga instruction. I can help you gain new sights and expand your yoga practice.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I conduct a brief health review and then we work on goals for the lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have extensive knowledge of anatomy and how the body moves including compensations and their causes. I am a RYT200 certified yoga instructor through Yoga Alliance. I teach Gentle, Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga. I have also been certified to teach Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury through the Love Your Brain Foundation. My previous profession as a Physical Therapist in pediatrics is very helpful. If I can teach 0-21 year olds how to move, I can teach you!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$75-90 an hour depending on travel. Small Group lessons in your home of up to 5 people is a possibility.
How did you get started teaching?
When I completed my certification my yoga instructor hired me to work at her studio.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with adults at a private yoga studio in a small group setting and have had a few one on one sessions. I am comfortable working with adults of all ages but have a special place in my heart for seniors. My own practice is a Vinyasa I/II but I teach Gentle, Vin I and Hatha Yoga.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I taught a 6 week course for Love Your Brain, Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury. It was so helpful to the participants and I learned a lot from them.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You have to feel safe and know that the instructor will not push you past your physical and emotional limits. I think it is also helpful to meet them first to talk over what you’re looking for out of the lessons and see if you are a good fit.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are your past injuries ? Doyou have pain now? Am I comfortable with hands on adjustments or do I prefer verbal instruction only? What equipment and clothing do I need?
