Private Yoga & Ayurvedic Health Counseling
Experience personalized instruction and guidance with private yoga - or Ayurvedic Health Counseling starting June 2024!
I can help you cultivate a more grounded, wise, empathic, and harmonious sense of being and living in the world through yogic and Ayurvedic practices. Together, we'll define a simple, practical, and sensible path, tailored specifically to your unique wellness goals. Whether you're looking for integral, individualized instruction to deepen or refine your yoga practice, address injury, aging, and/or injury or illness—or want to learn more about incorporating Ayurvedic practices into your daily life—I can help. You might choose to work with me for a variety of reasons, whether you simply want to delve more deeply into your yoga practice or seek individualized assistance in managing life changes such as illness or injury, or changes due to pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause. For those seeking nourishing postpartum care, I can also bring my expertise as an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula directly to you. Each private session is dedicated solely to you, with the objective of refining, honing, and deepening your yoga practice/sadhana or adopting a yogic/Ayurvedic lifestyle. The goal is to empower the manifestation of your inherent powers of wellbeing and wholeness. My methods of teaching are imbued with stability, wisdom, compassion and lightheartedness. Having lived a yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle for close to 20 years, I bring personal, practical knowledge to private sessions. I draw not only from my own experience as a teacher of asana and pranayama, and a long time practitioner of Ayurvedic lifestyle techniques, but also my lifelong scholarship and study of a wide variety of transformative, spiritual, insightful, challenging, edifying writing and thought - plus, my experience of three decades of marriage and parenting, too. Its my goal to empower students and clients to become their own healers, and I often recommend books, authors, podcasts, art, music - including other teachers and experts I know from my decades in the wellness world - to serve as resources for your journey to wholeness and wellbing. I also tend to guide clients towards brilliant but overlooked BIPOC or LBGTQ writers, teachers and leaders, too. |
With over 30 years of personal yoga practice, and as a yoga teacher from 2004 to the present, (predominantly as a Mysore style Ashtanga teacher) I bring extensive experience in direct, personalized, one-on-one yogic education. This includes a wealth of practical knowledge gained from working with thousands of yoga students over the past 20 years.
