"There are three of us in Judith’s Healing and Wholeness Yoga class.  We each have physical limitations that Judith takes into consideration when she plans our classes.  Her extensive exercise knowledge helps her to tailor the exercises to our needs, such as modifying some of the yoga poses so that even though we may not do the traditional pose we still get good benefit from the poses we do.  Judith is a very resourceful, thoughtful, caring and encouraging teacher.  It is a delight to be in her class!"

CREATE YOUR OWN YOGA CLASS

Do you have 3 or more friends with similar interests or experiences? Invite them to join you in creating a yoga class designed to meet your special needs. Gardener or golfer, knitter or quilter, triathlete or desk jockey – each creates unique stresses on the body.

Judith will work with you and your yoga mates to enhance your friendships, improve your health, and restore balance to your lives (mind, body, spirit) through yoga. The possibilities are boundless!

ONE-ON-ONE (private sessions)

Have a specific need requiring immediate, focused attention? Judith will design a yoga practice to address your current situation: health concerns, travel tension, private home practice, grief, chemotherapy and recovery, family transitions, self-care and more.

Individualized instruction may be the best gift you’ve ever given yourself – and you deserve it.

"Yoga with it's emphasis on staying focused and being centered helps me put my life back together after  our son's death."

HEALING AND WHOLENESS YOGA

What does your body need to feel whole again?

In this class you will receive whatever restoration your body, mind, spirit longs for as you move into healing breath awareness (prana), gentle yoga poses (asanas), and simple meditation techniques that address your individual needs. From this gentle flowing practice the body will be better able to access its own natural ability to cleanse, heal, rest, strengthen, balance, and build immunities.

GENTLE FLOW YOGA

Yes, you can do yoga! If you have been holding onto the idea that yoga is only for the young, the very flexible, or the spiritually inclined, let it go. Gentle Flow Yoga will convince you that yoga is a fantastic fitness practice for every body regardless of age or ability.

You won’t be asked to do a headstand or “pretzel” poses, but you will be encouraged to try stretching in gentle, safe and energizing ways that will quickly make you a firm believer in the health benefits of yoga. Your body will be the guide as to how you move and flow through poses that stretch, strengthen, and balance the entire body.

"Joining her class when it was offered in November of 2007 was one of the best things I have done for my health and well being since I gave up cigarettes in 1970.

The fact that I am still one of her students speaks for itself. At 81 I am not the youngest participant but the way our Yoga Master guides us through the movements makes us want to do our very best."

DEEPER FLOW YOGA

This class teaches how to create a perfect balance of energy and calm for both body and mind.

Deeper Flow Yoga is an active, flowing style (vinyasa yoga) that links poses together with the breath. It is proven to enhance balance, strength, cardiovascular health, and flexibility.
