1:1 Yoga/Functional Movement Assessment Sessions
Functional movement is about FUNCTION—how the body works and operates to serve our needs, and ultimately contribute to our overall wellness. Our bodies and how we move affect how we show up in our daily routines, from the smallest things like getting in and out of bed or picking up something from the floor, to performing our best at our chosen sport or activity.
The power of 1:1 work
I love working with people on a one-on-one basis because it gives us an opportunity to carefully and mindfully assess movement patterns, capabilities and needs regarding mobility and flexibility, and increase awareness on how our body functions on a macro and micro level. Whether you want to work on a specific part of the body, a yoga pose, or work together to improve performance in the sport/activity that you love to do the most, I love to explore how your body and its limitations and capabilities can function at its best and better serve you.
The benefits of functional training
I have worked with people from all walks and stages of life, from athletes to people who have limited/impaired mobility. I use a multitude of movement forms and exercises (not just yoga poses) to increase strength and mobility, test your capabilities regarding range of motion in your joints and soft tissue, and engage in a collaborative process of inquiry and exploration to find ways to creatively engage with form and function in an individualized way.
the details
We begin with a free 15-30 min consultation over the phone to get to know you, your goals, and to see if we are a good fit for one another. This phone call also gives me an opportunity to research and prepare for our first in-person session.

We meet at Yoga Oasis Central
2631 N Campbell Ave. Tucson, AZ 85719

During private sessions, often times I will need to do hands-on assessments and adjustments—always with informed consent—which will help identify key information about your movement patterns, imbalances, or inhibitions. Other times, hands-on adjustments will be used to give tactile feedback during an exercise or movement.
If you prefer that I don’t use hands-on adjustments and assessments, please let me know.
-
After we meet, you will receive via email, an outline of what we did in session, and “homework” or a home practice plan. Homework can range from a short 15-min at-home stretch session at the end of the day to a longer, structured routine—whatever you have capacity for and makes sense in your life.
I strongly believe that we need to implement a movement routine in order to make change, so some amount of work outside of our time together will be integral.
