Experience
I trained with Terry Roth Schaff in Adaptive Yoga for seniors and people with neurological disorders. Terry Roth Schaff is a medical yoga therapist who, in collaboration with Dr. Loren Fishman, has developed an effective and practical approach to adapting yoga practice for muscular-skeletal and cognitive challenges.
I have worked one-on-one with students during both their initial rehabilitation from stroke and as ongoing therapy to maintain strength, mobility, and neural engagement. I often integrate recommendations from client PT’s and OT’s into individual yoga practice.
