Adaptive yoga is a style of yoga that considers all bodies and abilities. It’s accessible to everyone, with multiple variations of asanas (yoga poses) taught, allowing them to be adapted to specific needs and abilities. Yoga props are often used and many common household items can be utilized, so don’t worry if you don’t have a full arsenal of props at your home.

Trauma-informed yoga (TIY) describes an approach to the practice that addresses the specific needs and symptoms of trauma survivors.

Trauma-informed yoga teachers are trained to be conscious of trauma and understand how trauma intersects with the practice.

This form of yoga may include self-regulation strategies to:

• increase body awareness (interoception) in a safe and controlled way, which can promote feelings of physical, emotional, and psychological safety

• address nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, and feelings of disconnection from the body or surroundings, which are common after experiencing trauma

I hear ya! Let’s work together to figure out a price point or arrangement that does. I truly believe yoga should be accessible to all. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and I’d love to have you in class!

Yes! Sharing yoga with friends, family and/ or co-workers can be a great way to spend time together. Let’s talk about how many people, location and frequency. This will help me determine an appropriate sliding scale for you or your organization.

Most probably, yes! Please reach out and suggest a few times that work for you. There is a fair chance we can work together to find a time and place that suits your schedule better. I teach at various locations and times throughout the week in and around Chicago (yes, more than what you see in the schedule on this website), so there is a possibility I can add a session either before or after an existing class or private. Long story short, I’d love to work with you and look forward to hearing from you soon.
