About the Host
Hi,
I am a chair yoga instructor specializing in inclusive, accessible movement for people of all ages, strengths, and abilities.
My chair yoga sessions blend gentle stretching, breathwork, and relaxation techniques to promote physical ease, restorative calm, and overall well-being. Rooted in a holistic approach, my classes meet participants where they are—making the practice beneficial not only for older adults, but also for corporate teams, students, and anyone seeking a mindful, low-impact experience.
I am honored to have received recognition for my work in the senior health space and proud to collaborate with several of New York City’s leading geriatric-focused nonprofits.
