About
I am starting a beginner's yoga class on Monday, April 1, 2019. 6:00-7:30 pm
This is a great introduction if you’re at all apprehensive about taking your first Yoga class as you’ll be in the company of other first time yogis, just like you! No pressure as we have fun learning and exploring basic postures, breathing technique and building your confidence!
Our teachers will walk you through the essentials to begin or strengthen your yoga experience so you feel comfortable and confident in your body and in your practice:
- Pranayama Breathing : What it is and how to use the technique properly
- Foundational Postures: Proper positioning and alignment.
- Putting It All Together: How to move safely from pose to
pose with the use of props, patience, awareness and grace
Where: Center for Iyengar Yoga
1204 E. 11 Mile Rd., Royal Oak
For the last 10 years, I've worked with students who have Multiple Sclerosis with Yoga Moves MS located in southeastern Michigan.
My work involves transformation. To see the light in a student's eyes when they feel and breathe the pose, when they feel confident and walk out of the class room feeling better than when they came in - that is my reward.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
For a student new to yoga, we first assess the body, age and any aches, pains and injuries. We begin with a very gentle approach with basic poses and breath work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education is on going. My 200 hour basic training was with Katherine Austin Wooley of Karma Yoga, Bloomfield Hills. From there, I trained in therapeutic yoga with Mindy Eisenberg, Doug Keller, Laurie Blakeney, and Chris Briney.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Our classes will be $20.00 for a 90 minute class.
How did you get started teaching?
Teaching yoga was a natural progression of my studies. And teaching is a natural way for me to spread the teachings to my community.
What types of students have you worked with?
At this point, I've worked with students who have multiple sclerosis, which has provided me with an education in yoga therapeutics, gentle yoga and adapting the poses to the individual student.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
For a new student seeking a yoga teacher, please look for one who has more than a 200 hour certification if you have chronic issues like pain, arthritis etc.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
First, is the teacher qualified to adapt yoga for my body; next, does the teacher listen to me; and, if you do have issues does your Dr. approve of you practicing yoga.
