Example of pool yoga.

Aqua Yoga

Gentle Yoga

Chair Yoga

 Performed in a  pool, postures are supported in the water, relieving stress on the  joints. It is well-suited for those with chronic pain including hip and  knee replacements, back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis or rehabilitating  injury.

Example of chair yoga.

Chair Yoga

Gentle Yoga

Chair Yoga

Either sitting or standing by a chair, this form of yoga is recommended  for beginners, those with chronic pain, physical disabilities, weight  constraints, injuries, or post-surgery.

Example of floor yoga.

Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga

 We emphasize stretching,  limbering, and holding gentle poses while focusing on breathing. We also  learn relaxation and meditation techniques. It is recommended for  beginners, those who want to gently increase strength and flexibility  due to pain or injuries, and those in the mood for a slow and gentle  practice. ​

home instruction

Many  clients leave YOGI M.D. with the  strong desire to practice at home.  Online instruction  can never replace one-on-one practice at the studio, but please see some basic techniques and poses that can be done easily at home below.
