Yoga: Another Path to Wellbeing
Yoga is the perfect complement to massage. My classes focus on the gentler aspects of the practice. Breath work. Awareness. Mindfulness.
I am a graduate of Sangha Yoga’s 200- and 300-hour trainings. There, I studied studying with Karina Ayn Mirsky, a certified teacher of Rod Stryker's Para Yoga.
Always a student myself, I adapt my classes to the needs of my students. I blend my yoga, intuitive, and massage trainings with essential oils for a restorative, relaxing practice.

Use of Essential Oils for Wellbeing

I sought to learn everything I could about oils when Kathy Spohn, LMT entered my life. I took every class she offered. I began incorporating essential oils into my massage work and yoga classes for healing and balance.
