Yoko has been teaching yoga since 1996.  She has studied with fantastic teachers: Donald Moyer, Rodney Yee, Ramanand Patel, Dona Holleman and Mary Lou Weprin. 

As she ages, Yoko is interested in how yoga asana promotes resilience, endurance, and ease.  Her practice leans into building alignment, strength, and propulsive power.  She also practices at a slower pace (lots of restorative poses!) for her metabolism — notably the neuro-endocrine, digestive, and vascular systems. 

As a teacher, Yoko focuses on keeping a multi-level group of students moving together, toward more complex and challenging poses. She pays attention to the individual student and the group.  If you are newer to yoga, you will not be pushed past what works for you and will be given ample alternative poses.
