Yoga Programming Tailored to You

As a yoga teacher and workshop leader, I am guided by the understanding that inner awareness, emotional steadiness, and meaningful connection are essential to personal and collective wellbeing. My classes and workshops invite participants to slow down, reflect, and develop a more respectful, compassionate relationship with themselves and those around them, while also building the physical resilience that supports balance and vitality in daily life.

I offer tailored yoga and mindfulness programming to businesses, small groups, and individuals, supporting not only healthier work environments but also more grounded, intentional ways of living and leading.

A practice rooted in self-awareness and inner steadiness opens the door to a more compassionate connection with ourselves and our communities.

What is Workplace Yoga?

Workplace yoga is a form of wellness programming that teaches yoga postures, breathing techniques, and mindfulness exercises to the staff or customers of corporations and non-profit organizations. Yoga classes and/or workshops are a cost-effective wellness strategy that enhances the mental and physical well-being of the workplace as a whole by helping reduce stress, foster empathy, and increase resilience and focus. Ultimately, a regular yoga practice helps develop deeper awareness of our mental and physical needs by offering tools for mindful stress management and decision making.

If you are an employer invested in the health and wellbeing of your employees, a wellness program centered on the healing principals of yoga is a good fit for you. I offer in-person and online yoga classes, workshops, and retreats designed with fast-paced work environments in mind. Together we can create a customized yoga program for your company’s staff, leadership teams, or clients.
