Such an elegantly simple statement. And yet, it is our life’s work to achieve these things––an easeful body and a peaceful mind.

Longevity Yoga™ is a deeply therapeutic form of yoga, drawing from the best of ancient wisdom and modern science.
We practice to restore the nervous system & activate the body's self-healing abilities, releasing long-held restrictions that trap our bodies as well as our minds, moods, and hearts.
We practice to improve and maintain excellent mobility, vitality, bone density, and quality of life, to prevent injury and recover from it, and to slow the aging process. The practices are slow and gentle while also deep and powerful. We learn to listen to our bodies—which are always letting us know what we need.

Sfilates™ is a shorthand for Soft Foam Roller Pilates. Which is a lot to say over and over. So I came up with this word, then searched to see if it was in use in any way anywhere.
And I was delighted to discover it’s an Italian word that means parade! Which seemed perfect, as this practice is so fun. And a bit lively.

Sfilates™ is a shorthand for Soft Foam Roller Pilates. Which is a lot to say over and over. So I came up with this word, then searched to see if it was in use in any way anywhere.
And I was delighted to discover it’s an Italian word that means parade! Which seemed perfect, as this practice is so fun. And a bit lively.
We use the unique OPTP Soft Density foam roller, a Pilates ball, a Yoga Tuneup ball, and a Pilates ring.
Sfilates™ is a fun practice to massage and hydrate the whole body, release myofascial adhesions (stuck places), decompress the joints, build bone density, and tone the core without strain. The result is a stronger, more limber, fluid, happy body.
Because of this practice, I have actually gained height instead of losing it at this age!
I never stop discovering new ways to use this incredibly versatile, comfortable, and therapeutic roller and other tools. I am often amazed at how much expensive Pilates equipment using them can simulate.

Retreats ~ Ahhh . . . the divine pleasure of taking time to go deep to listen to the quieter but wiser voice within. The sacredness of pressing pause to reacquaint us with our most authentic selves, wisdom, longings, and unique gifts so that we may live a more joyful, insightful, graceful & empowered life.
Workshops give us a chance to take a deeper dive into a specific aspect of our practice—whether it be on a particular body region or system, on a certain technique like breathing, on refining our understanding and approach to regular practice, or on specific health topics such as diet and sleep.
Occasionally, I also offer online events on important health topics, like Breast Health, Bone Health, and more.
When we come together, we have so much wisdom to share––more than we know––and we will all support each other in reaching a new level of knowledge, insight, skill and inspiration each time we meet.
