Esther helped me restore my confidence in making good decisions for myself and my body. I feel like I got my mojo back :)

open-to-all movement

My yoga movement classes are designed to build awareness of experience. I strive to create a supportive community environment where individual choices and variation are celebrated. My students tend to be inquisitive people who appreciate the space to do as they need and tell me they feel "so much better" and "so relaxed" after a class. 

trauma-sensitive yoga

Trauma-sensitive yoga (TCTSY) is a movement practice designed as a resource for healing from trauma. I offer trauma-sensitive yoga practices in private sessions online and locally in partnership with social service organizations in central Vermont.

free practices

I love podcasts, so I decided to share some practices there! Esther's Everyday Meditation offers meditation practices and Moved to Heal offers movement practices.

participant experiences

  • I started yoga with Esther to increase flexibility and balance after several injuries. 6 months in, a very longstanding shoulder problem has significantly improved, and I am happy to discover that I am generally more willing to move. If you’re considering online yoga with Esther, do it! It is convenient, and Esther is very mindful of limitations and concerns.

    Laura, custom online sessions

  • Esther showed me that yoga is for everyone, that there is no 'keeping up with others,' that my practice was my own and I could individualize it according to my abilities in a given day / stage / moment. That self-acceptance was very freeing and I am forever grateful to Esther for that.
    Melanie, custom sessions
  • Esther holds space for students to experience the energy and journey of their own practice. She balances a true respect for the heritage of yoga with a playful and encouraging teaching style that always leaves me ready for my next class.
