Yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, or Restorative) for those with dementia, disability, their caregivers, or those undergoing chemotherapy. Sessions provided in the comfort of your own home. I created Peaceful Posture as a way to offer gentle yoga for all. I enjoy caring for our aging population, especially those with dementia, disability, and their caregivers. I also have a heart for helping those undergoing chemotherapy. Yoga benefits the mind and body through the use of gentle stretching and breathing. I am pleased to offer at location yoga classes for those of any shape or ability. I will cater the moves to your needs and wants. I look forward to giving you a peaceful space to breathe, relax, and be present.

I am a wife and mother of two children. I have been a Geriatric Care Manager with AgeWise Advocacy & Consulting for over five years and have over 15 years of experience working with those who live with dementia or a disability. I have a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Oklahoma, a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas, and am a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200 level. Additionally, I offer in-home psychotherapy through Sage Counseling Services. I love to spend time with my family, read, hike, watch movies, eat cookies, and attempt to care for my garden.

December of 2021, I was diagnosed with lymphoma and completed chemotherapy. I have enjoyed participating in yoga for over 20 years and have experienced and seen the benefits of yoga in helping connect the mind and body. Yoga helped me regain a sense of presence and peace during my chemotherapy treatment and I have seen yoga help those with dementia be present in the moment as they participate in gentle stretches and breathing.

I have developed various sequences that are adaptable to those of all abilities and my social work training and experience with dementia greatly influence how I present sequences.

Additionally, I developed sequences specifically designed to calm and strengthen the body during chemotherapy treatment. I understand the stress and worry that comes with a cancer diagnosis, the prayers we implore, and the mountains we climb during treatment.

Connecting our minds and our bodies by breathing and releasing negative energy, can bring a sense of clarity and calm to each of us. It is a privilege to be of service to you or your loved one.
