I created Ma Yoga in 2009 to address the challenges – and opportunities – of women’s ever-changing bodies and lives.
As a Kinesiologist, I have always been fascinated by biomechanical alignment in each pose, and I love using yoga to help people find both strength and healing.
As a prenatal and postpartum yoga teacher for more than 20 years, I’m passionate about the transformative aspect of yoga on mental, energetic, and spiritual levels as well.
After completing my Masters in Exercise Science and working for six years as a Wellness Educator in the Kaiser Ob/Gyn department, I left with a vision of a “Ma Circle” in every neighborhood.
We partnered with local businesses to provide yoga, education and community to pregnant mamas and new moms in their own neighborhoods.
We got to 10 before Covid hit… and more than 16,000 mamas strengthened, opened, relieved aches and pains and prepared for birth and postpartum in our “Ma Circles.”
When everything closed for quarantine, we moved online.
The silver lining was that I could now offer my prenatal yoga teacher training to support teachers across the country – and the world.
Moms and moms-to-be in neighborhoods that never had prenatal yoga now had the opportunity to be supported, guided and inspired.
Our teachers also teach prenatal and mom yoga online, so it’s accessible and affordable to everyone with internet.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve side by side with my “Ma” sisters!
My vision for a “Ma Circle” in every neighborhood has manifested in a way I had never imagined.
I hope you’ll join us for a class or a free prenatal yoga training – and if you’re someone with aches and pains, an injury or a chronic condition, feel free to drop in on Saturday for a free, short, customized therapeutic practice in Alignment Therapy for Aches and Pains.
