This is a safe and supportive space where all levels are welcome. Modifications and variations will be offered throughout the class, ensuring that each pose can be adapted to suit your individual needs and abilities.
Cool Down & Integration
It’s a fabulous community of virtual friends who support and encourage each other. As we wind down with gentle stretches and relaxation techniques, allow the benefits of the practice to integrate into your mind, body, and spirit.
"I think the best part of class for me is your understanding of how difficult it is for people with osteoporosis to complete certain poses. So much appreciation for the modifications you offer. Rather than feeling like a total failure I feel like I am doing something special for my body."

About Jordana
Jordana is certified in the Fishman Method to teach Yoga for Osteoporosis.
My unique journey includes 3 decades of experience as a Yoga teacher, Health & Life coach and a massage therapist. I have become a keen observer of how the body, movement and emotions all interconnect. We store everything in our bodies from stress and trauma to joy.
My heart is filled with gratitude to my many teachers and mentors, including every client and student I have ever worked with, as they have all been my teachers. I am humbled and blessed to have had the experience of working with veterans at the Walter Reed Army Navy Medical Center where I witnessed the power of Yoga Nidra to help alleviate chronic and acute pain, PTSD, and severe insomnia to help reset the nervous system! This experience inspired me to become a certified iRest® Yoga Nidra teacher.
Additionally, I had the pleasure of working as a Yoga Therapist on a (now published) study utilizing yoga for lower back pain for veterans - it works!
I'm passionate about helping people activate their inner superpowers, transform their lifestyle, and age powerfully. My mission is to guide individuals willing to become the most powerful version of themselves.
My approach combines deep body wisdom, movement expertise, and a commitment to helping clients unlock their potential for resilient, vibrant living.
