Personal Training, Yoga, Adventure Travel for over 50 years.

I am offering both functional personal training, and individual & occasional small group yoga.

I also offer custom designed adventures: kayaking, cycling, or trekking overseas and domestically.. 

I believe that my understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of the aging process as well living, working, and traveling for five years throughout Asia provide me a unique perspective on developing a personal practice for body, mind, spirt and soul.
