The movement practices here are slow and mindful, meaning you do them with full awareness. The goal isn't to achieve a pose. It's to discover what your body can do today — with curiosity instead of judgment, guided by your own experience and wisdom. Some days that looks one way; some days it looks another. The practice that worked for you last week may not be what your body needs this week. Learning to notice that difference — and respond to it — is part of what you are building here.
The yoga that I offer is informed by the principles of therapeutic yoga (though I do not have a certification as a Yoga Therapist). I guide you in developing the skill of paying attention to your own body with enough knowledge and confidence to make good choices about how you move. Over time, that skill becomes one of the most valuable things a yoga practice can offer — more valuable than any particular pose.
Everything here is guided by a preserve-and-protect philosophy, one that the yoga therapy tradition describes for the midlife and later-life stage. We move in ways that maintain what we have, build what supports our daily lives, and protect the structures — joints, spine, nervous system, brain — that allow us to keep moving well into the years ahead. The question behind every practice isn't "can you do this?" It's "what is the purpose of the pose and movement and what version is appropriate for you in this moment?"
In that way, it is meant to support you, adapt to your needs, and provide you with the tools to ask and answer the questions, "What do I need today?" and "How do I support myself in that?"
