VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
ONLINE GROUP CLASSES
In light of our global movement towards social distancing, during this time of COVID-19, I have moved all teaching online and created several new group classes to foster community and support collective needs.
​
As we move into this brave new world, I want to ensure that we are all supported in our human need to move and breathe as effortlessly as possible. These classes are designed to support your health with calm, clear minds and strong, supple bodies.
​
ALL CLASSES ARE OFFERED ON A SLIDING SCALE, through April 18th.
