About
Learn to practice yoga at your level of ability and to address your concerns and goals. I have expertise in working with people who have health issues, including injuries, disabilities, or mental health concerns. If you have little to no yoga experience, I can help you develop skillful technique.
I can work with you with any of these intentions:
-lead you through yoga practice
-help you learn to practice yoga on your own, develop a routine
-prepare to attend a class, live or recorded, and participate safely and effectively
I am skilled with teaching yoga in water, and also via internet video.
I am an Occupational Therapist, licensed in MA, with extensive experience using yoga with patients.

I am comfortable with no masks if all present can show evidence of vaccination. When I meet you, I require that you have not had any COVID-related symptoms in previous 24 hours

I scheduled an outdoor yoga class with Rick and it was a great experience. He was very flexible with scheduling and considered everyone's concerns regarding mobility. Our class was an hour long and we learned a lot of different stretches, beginner yoga poses, and breathing techniques. Additionally, the pricing was more than reasonable, and I would definitely book again!
Details: 12 students • 31 - 40 years old • 41 - 50 years old • 51 - 60 years old • 60+ years old • No yoga preference • No experience • Increased flexibility • Relaxation • Meditation • My home, venue, etc.

I started attending sessions with Rick a few weeks ago to address flexibility, strength, and other self care needs. I’ve noticed a significant improvement already in my ability to do normal tasks, which were previously challenging due to being relatively sedentary throughout COVID. It feels great to get moving again, and I’m so glad I went with Rick. He was very thorough in getting to know me and my physical limitations. I would highly recommend him for disabled folks and anyone looking to practice yoga in a trauma-sensitive environment. I feel much more grounded and in touch with my body and mind. Also I like that he offers in-person AND virtual sessions. Makes it so much easier to practice on days that I don’t want to drive!

I have take Accessible yoga with Rick for over several years both in person and currently, virtually. Rick is such a wonderful teacher. Very patient, funny, and creatively adapts yoga poses on the fly to my unique disabilities. I have had CRPS for several years now and his yoga classes, help me manage my pain, give me flexibility and calm my nervous system down. When I have a pain flair, he can adapt any pose to meet my ability at the moment. He is a very supportive part of my healing journey.

Rick really knows yoga and how to adjust the poses to the individual. I had a broken shoulder during the pandemic and the only physical activity I could do were the asanas that Rick adjusted for, so I was very grateful.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
At my home in Roslindale, or by internet video: $80/hr, $110/ 90 min (+10-15 per additional person)
Prices in my listing are per hour.
May charge more, depending on distance I need to travel, and if we do sessions longer than an hour
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always start with conversation about what they are looking to get out of yoga and out of private lessons. Discuss physical/mental health issues. I usually structure the yoga practice as a learning process, more than just leading the person through a practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
yoga teacher certification from Kripalu Yoga Center. Adaptive Yoga training from Matthew Sanford/Mind-body Solutions.
Masters degree in Occupational Therapy from New York University
