    Experience the Full Scope & Benefits of Yoga: Physical Poses, Breathe Work & Meditation

    Yoga originated as a multi layered practice to help individuals prepare for a "spiritual practice." 5,000 years later, yoga has taken on many different meanings. My personal yoga practice and what I would like to share with you are the many aspects and benefits of yoga. Together we will engage in yoga postures (asana) that will help to increase your strength, circulation, endurance and help support your bones as well as increase flexibility and balance (just to name a few benefits). There are many different breathing techniques that we can practice to help either quiet your mind and body or energize you. Through different forms of meditation, we can work on releasing stress, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and increase self awareness, compassion and inner peace. Our sessions together begins with where you are in your life and what I can offer with my extensive knowledge, practice and experience. The world can be a very confusing place. We don't have much control over what goes on outside of us and around us. We can have much more control about what is going on inside of us and our reactions. Let's work together to support you in having the best experience that your life has to offer!

    My intention is to to bring my knowledge, personal practice experience, inner wisdom and areas of expertise to every session. Through our working together, we can create a practice, that meets your physical, mental, emotional and energetic needs. I have been practicing and teaching yoga and meditation for over 30 years. I am a master yoga teacher who has completed, 500 hours of training in Prana Yoga, 200 hours in Kundalini Yoga and 50 hours in Yin Yoga. I studied Thai Yoga Massage in both The U.S. and Thailand. To complement my yoga skills, I have been trained in Mindfulbased Stress Reduction, Yoga Nidra, Chair and Restorative Yoga and am a Reiki Master. Using my formal training as a special education teacher, my sessions are designed not only to guide you in the physical practice of yoga, but also to teach you how to quiet your mind, listen to your body, understand your own energy field and access your own inner wisdom. I have taught yoga to individuals as young as 3 and as old as anyone still feel wanting to feel young. Over the years, I have guided individual sessions, small and large group sessions, both in person and through Zoom. My yoga classes are suited for both beginner and intermediate yoga students who are interested in taking an enhanced form of yoga, that goes beyond the physical practice. Yoga and meditation can support anyone and everyone. It begins where you are! I look forward to meeting you. We have a lot that we can learn together!

    Rona is reliable, patient and kind. She is very knowledgeable and runs a great class. I've been doing both in person and remote classes with her for years. I always feel great afterwards .

    Actually I’ve been doing meditation with Rona for a few years. She is a low key teacher who listens and has a soothing, patient manner. I always look forward to our sessions

    I first met Rona while taking a series of in-person meditation classes in 2004--she helped me get through a very difficult time while my mother was dying by releasing the stress that I was holding onto while going through this process. Since that first encounter, I went on to take monthly meditation classes with her which I continue to this day, became a Reiki master through an extensive year long process with her as my teacher, and have also taken yoga classes with her. She has helped me get through every struggle that life has thrown at me. In everything she does, she incorporates her extensive knowledge of many different techniques to help you improve your overall well-being--not just your physical body. I always feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders after taking a class with her and attribute her teachings to helping me to become a better person.
