Why I Teach
I have practiced yoga for 25 years and will be forever grateful for all of its physical and spiritual benefits it has afforded me. As a yoga teacher I was drawn to the specialty of chair yoga because of the opportunity to bring the many benefits I have experienced to people who require the safety and security of being seated. I work with seniors, people with physical challenges and those with cognitive impairment. I am gratified each and every time I teach when I see increased movement, strength and flexibility.
