Yoga
“Yoga is the meeting of the drop and the ocean”– Swami KripaluThere are many different reasons for practicing yoga. Maybe you’d like to become more flexible, enhance your physical endurance, or simply improve your overall health. Perhaps you injured yourself and would like to get back to your full range of motion and strength. You may feel stressed and would like to use movement to find stillness in your mind. Or you’d like to create a deeper self-awareness and use your body to go inside.
Whatever your reason is, I’d be happy to guide you along the way to a healthier, happier and calmer self. Anyone who can breath can practice yoga. Read here how I found yoga and why I practice it.
I offer yoga in various formats, and at all levels: private yoga in New Jersey, group yoga classes, workshops, teacher trainings, and yoga retreats. You can you can read more about it here below. Feel free to contact me to learn which practice would serve you most.
Private Yoga in Manasquan, NJ
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced yogi, private yoga sessions are the optimal way to establish a solid relationship with your own body and breath. I work with clients who need to build strength and flexibility after an injury, corporate executives who want to learn practical ways to counter-act stress and the detriments of a seated (office) life, advanced yogis who wish to fine-tune the alignment of their postures, those who need to learn how to breathe properly, and anyone else who is interested in the benefits of a custom-made practice.
During a private session I generally use one – or a combination – of the following methods:
- Yin Yoga
- Gentle movement
- Alignment based vinyasa flow yoga
- Trauma-sensitive yoga
- Pranayama (yogic breath work)
- Mindfulness practices
Private yoga sessions are held at my home studio in Manasquan (NJ) or in the privacy of your own home*

You may like to practice with me, but you live in a different town, state or country. Perhaps you just like to roll onto your mat straight out of bed. Or do a practice in your pajamas right before you go to bed. Wherever you are, and whenever you feel like it, you can practice with me. The only thing you need is an internet connection! May it be of benefit to you. I’d love to hear when and where you practiced!
