Personal Training & Yoga Instruction
Exercise is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. (Yoga is one wonderful option among many.)
I help you get going, get results, and stick with it.
Get started
Get a customized work-out or yoga routine.
Learn to do each exercise correctly.
Learn how to incorporate regular exercise into your life.
Be confident your work-outs are safe and effective.
My approach has grown out of working with hundreds of clients over the years and from my understanding of dynamic anatomy and rehabilitative exercise. I design exercise and yoga programs that help people gain the strength and mobility needed to get ‘The Job’ done. The Job includes everything daily life asks of you plus the activities you enjoy, be it hiking, gardening, or swing dancing.
I can also help you improve the ergonomics of your life–such as desk height, kitchen set-up, or job-related postures and repetitive motions–and I teach recuperative practices that can ease or prevent over-use injuries.

UNIQUE EXERCISES: Simple moves that kick your butt
People often comment that many of my exercises are unlike any they’ve done before, even if they are long-time exercisers. And they are happy with how much stronger these exercises make them. Among other things, I help you find and strengthen you deepest core muscles to stabilize across key joints. This approach helps with a wide range of postural issues. I make sure your work-outs are safe and effective–so you get stronger and have fewer aches and pains.
YOGA BASICS: Foundational poses and breath-work
I primarily teach yoga fundamentals, focusing on keystone postures and sequences such as down dog and sun salutation. Although I also teach other poses, I emphasize quality over quantity to help you access and strengthen your deepest core muscles and optimize your practice. This type of yoga is very strengthening overall. You learn which poses will be most beneficial for you and how to modify or substitute for poses that are risky. Breath-work, another yoga fundamental I teach, brings mindfulness into your practice and has many additional benefits.
Yoga basics isn’t for beginners only. Diving deep with fundamentals helps advance any yoga practice.
