TRY yoga is a style I developed inspired by my former teachers “maintenance yoga” classes, by stretch therapy, with trauma informed agency ques given. I always aim for participants to feel safe, comfortable, and challenged if they choose to be. Because my background is yoga therapy, energy awareness, and stretch therapy, I also aim to offer relief! Relief from stress, physical, mental, and emotional.

Chair Classes also available with your Online Studio Membership

I have been teaching chair yoga for 10 years!! Every time I take a vacation, my body misses it. Over the years I have developed many sequences to utilize literally every body part, so that they keep working!! The common request in chair yoga is “head to toe” and we get it all. Sometimes, we don’t have control over certain body parts, but we still benefit from thinking about it, and strengthening that mind body connection. Chair yoga has helped students maintain their ability to shoulder check when driving, increase pain tolerance, to exercise with degenerative disease or any limitation. That is my favorite thing about chair yoga, anyone can do it, and any one will benefit from it:)

covid Protocol

Since the onset of CO-VID19 I have been doing my best to offset these challenging circumstances by moving some classes online.

I am overjoyed to say that the response since doing so has been phenomenal!

I feel so blessed to be able to continue to serve my community the best way I know how... through Yoga!
