She loves sharing the value of yoga with people of all sizes.


“What’s important is working wherever you are within your current range of motion, so your body can open to new movements appropriately.” Maintaining a regular practice offers


an opportunity for individuals living with chronic pain or undergoing cancer treat- ment to feel more at ease. “Even in cases of severe fibromyalgia, some movement is better than none, and can foster better sleep.
