Private Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Reiki & Facial Therapy
I offer private yoga lessons, therapeutic yoga, Reiki, and Facial Therapy by appointment. Private yoga and yoga therapy sessions are ideal for those who want a custom-designed program, need to work at a slower pace, or need to work around specific health issues, pain, or disease.
Reiki is a natural method of energy healing. You will remain fully clothed and will feel safe and nurtured as I lightly rest my hands on your body. You may feel a sensation of healing warmth coming from my hands, and will likely move into a relaxed, meditative state. At the end of the session, clients usually feel very rested and often gain new insight and clarity with a particular issue. Reiki can release tension in the body, and is especially good for releasing mental or emotional tension.
I became interested in Reiki after my son noticed that "something powerful" was coming out of my hands. I received my first degree of Reiki training in 2002, and received three more degrees before earning Master status in 2004 and a 6th-level degree Reiki-Seichim Master Therapist status in 2009. Through Reiki, I've helped people work with grief, stress, disease, pre- and post-op, past trauma and more.
Facial Therapy combines Reiki with a unique facial massage done with a soft ball to stimulate bone, lift muscle, and improve circulation from the inside out. This treatment is deeply relaxing and can reduce facial tension that leads to headaches, sinus problems, jaw pain, and clenching.

Comments from some of my clients:
I am now handicapped and in a wheel chair. Sandy is an outstanding teacher ... I cannot praise her enough. Her exercises are helping me to restore my ability to walk again!

You helped me lay a foundation for health, safety, breathing and self-assuredness. I bring these skills to my life every day.
Thank you,
Bill T., Washington, D.C.
My session with Sandy was outstanding. Sandy was extremely well informed about ways to take the best care of your core muscles and bones. She was delightful and professional. I highly recommend her as a yoga instructor!

I was fully expecting to be facing the hip replacement knife in a few months, but my orthopedist said, "Keep up the yoga, because it's made a world of difference. I won't need to see you for at least two more years at the earliest. Very impressive! Keep up the yoga!"
