Thanks for stopping by my website and for thinking about taking the classes I offer. They are easy-going and designed to facilitate physical and mental wellness and community.  All are invited to attend these classes - adults of all ages, teens, and younger children who are interested. I hope you find something that's useful to you!

I draw on over 40 years of teaching and studying yoga, meditation, dance, tai chi, and fitness to students of diverse backgrounds, ages, and abilities. My intention is that my classes facilitate a sense of community, decrease stress, increase creativity, and improve mind-body wellness, using a variety of mindful movement and meditation forms. My focus is on teaching participants how to modify movement to address their personal needs and goals. 

 This includes: 

• Anyone who wants to move with awareness that decreases stress and improves functional fitness for everyday life.

• Anyone impacted by traumatic brain injury (TBI) or acquired brain injury who is mobile and ready to explore TBI-friendly community movement classes. 

• Anyone impacted by arthritis and looking for a gentle movement class.

• Anyone recovering from injury/illness who is mobile and ready to explore gentle community movement classes.

If you are a beginner or someone returning to exercise, you may look forward to gradually building strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, agility, and confidence in your physical and mental abilities.

If you are a more experienced mover, you might appreciate these classes as an addition to your existing training schedule, an option for your "easy-day" workout, or a chance to slow down and reflect on your movement/mind in the name of wellness maintenance and/or injury prevention.

Everyone may notice that a single class brings a feeling of rejuvenation. However, please note that more profound benefits come from consistent practice over time. With that in mind, I encourage you to cultivate a variety of enjoyable movement and meditation forms to keep your body and mind healthy for the long haul...in my classes or elsewhere. 

Please be sure to consult your medical professional for exercise safety guidelines specific to you, as needed. I am not a medical doctor.

Do you have questions/concerns about any of the classes offered? If so, please email me for clarification and guidance in selecting the right class for your current needs. 

Looking forward to meeting you,

Jeanne
