Yoga that meets you where you are

Yoga does not have to look a certain way to be meaningful. Naomi’s approach to yoga emphasizes body awareness, curiosity, and choice rather than perfection or performance. One-on-one sessions provide an opportunity to explore yoga at your own pace and adapt practices to your individual body, needs, and goals.

Naomi has been teaching yoga since 2010. She completed her 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in 2010 and her 300-hour advanced training in 2021, becoming a 500-hour yoga teacher. Her advanced training included an emphasis on decolonizing her teaching practice.

Throughout her years of teaching, Naomi has worked with students at various levels of experience and ability, with a particular focus on foundational practices, accessible movement, and the use of yoga props. She believes props are tools for exploration and support—not signs that you are doing yoga “wrong.”

Naomi’s trauma-informed approach encourages students to develop greater awareness of their bodies and to practice making choices about their movement. You will be invited to establish and honor your own boundaries, modify or skip practices when needed, and discover what feels supportive for you.

An Inclusive Practice

Naomi strives to create a yoga environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to individuals with a wide range of bodies, abilities, identities, and experiences. She is committed to creating a space where students can explore movement without judgment and where their boundaries and choices are respected.

Naomi welcomes LGBTQ+ and BIPOC students and strives to provide culturally responsive and affirming services.

Honoring Yoga’s Roots

Yoga is a spiritual and philosophical tradition with deep roots in South Asia. Naomi acknowledges that she practices and teaches within a tradition that is not hers by cultural inheritance, and she extends gratitude to the teachers and communities who have carried these teachings forward.

As part of her ongoing commitment to decolonizing her practice, Naomi seeks to learn from and uplift South Asian voices, as well as the voices of Black and Indigenous people of color, while approaching yoga with respect, humility, and continued learning.

New clients must schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine if Naomi’s approach is right for you.
