A couple of major accidents left me with difficulty walking and in a great deal of pain. I have been practicing chair yoga with Kassandra for 3 months now and have experienced great relief in my back and knees, as well as better balance. I can now comfortably walk 2 blocks without a cane. – Halyna K. |
Private therapeutic yoga sessions can address any of your concerns around your health – physical, emotional, or mental. I work with individual clients with chronic back and neck pain, joint replacements, arthritis, fibromyalgia, herniated and fused spinal disks, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more. Think of private yoga like a holistic personal trainer, if you're not sure how to place it!
Private sessions can be held in your own home or apartment, your apartment's party or meeting room, or in my space located walking distance from Keele subway station.

I have been practicing chair yoga with Kassandra for 4 weeks now. I feel stronger in my injured hip, my posture and wellbeing are much improved, and I have more energy. Kassandra is an excellent teacher – Suzanne Karima |
Private Session Intake
Our first session will be 75-90 minutes and include an intake to get clear on your needs, concerns, and goals. **I ask that you bring any pertinent information about your conditions or health concerns from your doctor/physio/chiro etc. as I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose injury or illness** Our following sessions will most likely be 60 minutes long and include any variety of functional mobility and strengthening exercises, stretches, myofascial release (fancy word for self massage with therapy balls!), breathwork, and mindfulness practices.

Although I'm a very active person, I never spent time looking after myself physically. I really demonstrated to myself my years of self neglect after committing to and beginning chair yoga. Kassandra has slowly but steadily helped me gain better balance, become a bit more flexible, and stronger. It will take time to come back to the level I aspire to but little by little I am improving. – Lydia F. |
Goals
My ultimate goal is to make myself unnecessary as your teacher! I work to teach clients how to listen to their body's inner knowing so that they can adjust their practice day to day as needed. In sessions I offer many small ways that a person might begin integrating practices into their daily lives without much notice or time committment so that a home practice builds authentically and sustainably!
