Mindful Movement Classes

Change is closer than you think!

You’ve tried everything to fix that bad back, sore hip, knee or shoulder, but nothing seems to work - at least not for long. You’re starting to believe that your pain is something you just have to live with.

I know what it feels like to have chronic pain, how discouraging it is to have to limit my activities because of an old injury that just won’t go away, how frustrating it is when what used to work doesn’t anymore.

I also know how it feels to get lasting relief from pain, to be able to get back to doing the things I love.

What would it feel like to actually enjoy being in your body? Change is possible.

It's never too late to learn how to listen to your body in a new way, to work with your nervous system and your connective tissue, to feel less pain, to create more ease, mobility and strength.

Yes, you can learn to safely create more mobility and ease, improve balance and stability, and reduce pain, at any age.

Whether the focus is on strength, core stability, back health, hip or knee pain, we start by working with the nervous system.

Instead of teaching a right or wrong way of doing an exercise, I invite you to listen to your body and be curious about the choices you can make to fine-tune each movement according to what you’re hearing, so you can achieve your fitness goals in the way that is most effective for you.

Why does Mindful Movement work? What does it look like? What does it feel like?

Work with me in the way that works best for you!

Online Classes

These are a great option if you've already developed the skill of listening to your body, and feel confident about making choices around the variables and suggestions I offer.

Four live classes per week and access to hundreds of recorded classes offers you both accountability and variety!

Private Yoga Therapy Sessions

If you've had a recent injury or surgery and are feeling stuck and frustrated, private 1:1 Zoom sessions can help you create a specific action plan to relieve pain, then increase mobility and stability.

You'll receive homework after each session - movements to practice on your own as you heal and make the shift from rehab to fitness.

Not sure what's best for you?

Class Descriptions

My classes are designed for older bodies, and are informed by the therapeutic principles that guide my work as a yoga therapist.
All classes include work to safely create ease, improve mobility and increase strength and stability. 

Movement Breakfast

A 30-minute class to energize you, and get your day started on the right foot. Suitable for most fitness levels.

Gentle Movement Breakfast

If you’re working with a recent injury, chronic pain, or recovering from joint replacement surgery, this 30-minute class is for you! The focus is on learning to move more mindfully, and gently improving balance and stability.

Fundamentals

This 75-minute class is for you if you generally feel well, but have the odd nagging pain that gets in the way of life. The focus is on improving your mind-body connection, increasing coordination, core stability, hip and shoulder mobility. We start with moving well, then play with ways to add load and complexity.

Kind words from students and clients...

"A heartfelt thank you for the wealth of knowledge you have so generously shared with all of us.

Every week, I learn something  new. It could be about the nervous system or maybe it’s helping me recognize old patterns of movement that require tweaking. All the seemingly small things you so diligently integrate into your classes have made a tremendous difference in how I feel and have encouraged me to live my senior years with a more positive attitude about aging. You can’t stop getting older but you sure can help yourself to do it better."

"From the first time I met Joanne I knew she was special.

Due to her wide range of training, her thorough knowledge of anatomy and her ability to see the body as a whole she has the power to perform little miracles.

I had a nagging pain in my right thigh, shooting down the leg, every time I laid myself down to sleep. With her gift to pay attention to detail, she created an exercise program on the spot. It was a series of gentle movements, light as a whisper. 

After only one session I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep with no pain whatsoever all through the night. 

It always amazes me how she finds the best exercises that give results right away. 

I am thankful that I have Joanne to smooth the path of recovery from the concussion. Her knowledge, empathy and compassion is greatly appreciated."

"Although I don't live in Joanne's area, I am grateful to be able to participate in her online exercise classes.

She is a wonderful teacher who is both knowledgeable and inspiring despite the challenge of teaching remotely.

Joanne always provides plenty of options to allow us to adapt each exercise to our particular abilities which has really helped me with my mobility and balance issues.

Thank you so much Joanne for helping me to keep motivated and fit."
