Great for beginners but you will be challenged even if you are more advanced. We work on strength, flexibility, balance, posture, breathing, and meditation. Modifications provided so that everyone can benefit from the practices. I also incorporate some resistance training with bands to work on upper body strength and self-massage with Yoga Tune-Up balls.
Petra's Story
Report
Yoga has had an incredibly positive impact on my own life. It helped me release accumulated stress from my teenage years living in a household affected by mental illness and constant fighting. Yoga helped me understand the nature of the mind and how to work with it. We fear what we don't understand.

Improve your strength, flexibility and balance in one of my Aging Well with Yoga classes. I currently offer classes in Oakland and Piedmont. The class is designed to benefit people with different age related chronic conditions. We use props and modification so that everyone can take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of yoga.
Yoga Therapy
Report
When clients seek out a yoga therapist, they are usually coming to get help with or relief from some symptom or health condition that is troubling them. In most cases, the instruction focuses on their condition and how the yoga techniques can help them feel better or improve their function. Yoga is a great tool for healthy aging.
Yoga and PWR!Moves for Parkinson's disease
Report
If you got a Parkinson's diagnosis, you don't have to despair. Research shows that the combination of medication and exercise can significantly improve your symptoms. Exercise might even slow down the progression of the disease. The important thing is to get informed, create your support team (neurologist, PT, speech therapist, movement coach, Parkinson's support groups, etc.) and start the right exercise regimen as soon as possible.
