Services
Private Yoga
Private yoga sessions offer one-on-one personalized guidance tailored entirely to your body, your movement history, and your goals. Drawing on my background in Kinesiology and Exercise Science, I help you understand correct positioning for each pose, identify the modifications that best support your body, and address tightness and tension through targeted movement work. Whether you're new to yoga or returning after injury, each session is structured around what your body actually needs — not a generic class format.
Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic yoga applies yoga-based movement specifically to support injury recovery, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Sessions combine gentle yoga postures, targeted breathwork, and corrective movement patterns to enhance healing, improve mobility, and reduce pain — informed by my background in Kinesiology and orthopedic massage. Each session is designed around your specific condition, movement limitations, and recovery goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yo-Massage
Yo-Massage combines assisted yoga stretching with targeted massage therapy into one integrated session — addressing muscle tightness, restricted movement, and tension simultaneously rather than separately. I guide your body through assisted stretches while applying focused massage techniques to release restriction and improve flexibility. Each session is tailored to your specific areas of tension and movement goals.
