NEWS! I am currently studying Silver Age Yoga, a certificate program that certifies me to teach yoga to seniors. There are two levels: the first is chair yoga for people who have trouble getting up and down from the floor, or whose sense of balance isn't stable enough for standing yoga; the second is a more advanced version which includes yoga on the floor, sitting and standing, with many modifications and props to accommodate various physical conditions and levels of flexibility. It's a wonderful program! I look forward to rolling it out in the Boston/Cambridge area soon. If you would like me to teach Silver Age Yoga at your facility, or as private lessons, please send me an email

NEW! A Yoga Tips page. Click here (or on"Yoga Tips & FAQ" above) to find out how to hand or machine wash and dry your yoga mat, how long to wait after eating to do yoga, and a neat trick to keep your mat more germ-free. I'll add more to this over time. Any questions you'd like me to address?

Spring Yoga! Take the time to reconnect with your inner self. Fire up your strength and your spirit, stretch out leg, hip, back and neck muscles that might have spent much of the winter sitting, and bolster your immune system. Best of all: spend time with yourself in this natural, simple way, where you can reconnect with your heart, your mind and your body. I love the feeling when everything feels 'right'. Observe yourself becoming stronger, longer, more balanced and calmer (yet energetic), and find joy!
Each class has a theme; the first few classes will be long, exuberant wake-up stretches with a bit of strengthening and balancing thrown in and will build in rigor across the semester. Early in the semester we'll do our "Spring Tune-up" to help our bodies transition from the sludge of winter to the lightness of spring, and we'll bolster our immune system in the process. We'll do a classes to help prevent breast cancer (the yoga in this class is wonderful for men, too) and to help fight spring allergies. Other classes will focus on specific body therapies, like loosening tight hips, shoulders, releasing the neck, hamstrings, lower back, and more.

Every semester Linda Carmichael, a highly experienced Alexander Technique teacher, comes to classes one night and does her hands-on Alexander on us as we do the yoga. This technique helps get stuck energy flowing again, is aligning and extremely relaxing. There is no extra charge for this special treatment. Student feedback is always very enthusiastic! I hope you can try it. Dates TBD - for the specific dates, watch www.Facebook.com/ComeToYoga or send me an email to get on the mailing list.
