Class Descriptions

Our experienced yoga teachers and yoga therapists are experts in working with people who live with chronic pain or health conditions such as Osteoporosis, Arthritis, effects of Cancer treatment, injuries, or neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and brain injury. Our adaptive approach offers plenty of space to work safely at your own pace, and from a yoga mat or a chair. These classes are also great for people who want to move at a slower, more relaxed pace! Attention to breathwork, meditation, and the spiritual aspect of practice is also emphasized.

A couple of steps up from gentle practice in terms of physical challenge. Teachers incorporate adaptation, beginning with a gentler version of a posture/sequence and building slowly to a more advanced version. There is still plenty of room to modify as needed and permission to stick with less physically demanding practices. Emphasis is also given to breath, philosophy, and meditation.

This is a great class for students who have had an introduction to Yoga for Osteoporosis and would like to continue their practices, while learning new tools. We will always begin each practice with a gentle therapeutic adaptation, gradually moving into a stronger variation. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace and to stay with gentler options as desired.

Certified Yoga and Movement Therapist, Christy Fisher, has been teaching therapeutic yoga for over 25 years. She has studied Yoga for Osteoporosis with Ellen Saltonstall and Dr. Loren Fishman and integrates many of these principles into her classes for students who live with Osteoporosis.

Christy’s specialized classes for Cancer and Osteoporosis are life savers! I am able to participate and engage with yoga for the first time since my diagnosis. She understands how diseases affect the body and tailors the exercises to fit. My mood has improved knowing that I can go to a class and benefit from the exercises! Thank you!
