about
i'm a yoga alliance RYT 200 and yoga for all certified teacher. i had practiced yoga casually for over 10 years. despite always enjoying many benefits, i eventually would fall out of practice. however, after being diagnosed with several chronic illnesses, i returned to yoga and started exploring a full practice including meditation and breathing exercises. through these experiences i decided to start teaching in order to help bring these benefits to people who don’t think they can do yoga. i strive to make my classes accessible to all levels and bodies regardless of ability, strength, & flexibility. my teaching philosophy is that I am here to help guide you and keep you safe in your practice but my main responsibility is to help you build your own practice in order to empower yourself & gain all the benefits yoga has to offer.

testimonials
kesse made me feel welcome and offered assistance during the class without embarrassing me and making me feel like the whole class was watching.
her yoga classes are the best I have ever experienced - it really is for everyone and any level of skill. last week, my wife, 10 year old daughter, and myself were there and all of us had a great experience.

FAQs
all of my classes are open to anyone of any ability. you don't need to know the names of any poses or have done yoga at all before. i will guide you through the practice and assist with either verbal or hands-on adjustments based on your preference.
of course! as always, it's your practice. if you don't want to be touched, i won't touch you.
absolutely! wear whatever's comfortable for you. you may want to dress in layers in case you get hot, especially in the winter.
i teach what is generally referred to as a gentle flow/vinyasa class. i usually start with some breathing exercises, then a warm-up. next we'll do the more physical/active part of the practice. then i usually end with some stretching or yin yoga before closing with savasana (or corpse pose). i offer modifications for most poses as i'm guiding you through the practice but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!
i teach at several different locations so what's available varies. in general, if you have a mat, i appreciate it if you bring it because there are only a few extra at some locations. also, if you have any other props that you know you like, you can bring them. there is usually bolsters, blocks, and straps available at all locations. if you know you get cold, you may also want to bring a small blanket for savasana.
you can pay either way. classes are $10 or you can get a 4 class pass for $35. you can pay for these in person or online.
no problem! i have several chronic illnesses myself. the benefits i've received from a regular yoga practice is one of the reasons i decided to become a teacher. always check with your doctor first, of course! then feel free to discuss any concerns or health issues you have with me so i can advise you on any adjustments you may want to make for your practice.
