Rhonda Geske

My teaching style is very personal as I connect with each student in every class either before instruction begins or after. I share my own experiences and ways in which yoga has helped me. I love teaching yoga and communicate that by not taking myself too seriously, having a good sense of humor, and showing up even when I'm not feeling 100%. I am patient (which is needed in a zoom environment), and I go with the flow when needed. I am a certified Silver Age Yoga teacher that understands the health issues associated with aging and age-related conditions. The benefits of regularly attending my Silver Age Yoga classes include strengthening the physical body through active yoga postures; strengthening the lungs, respiratory and circulatory systems through pranayama/breathing exercises; and calming the nervous system through slow and mindful movements. I am also certified to teach trauma-informed yoga, a practice that shows those suffering from PTSD or other trauma-related experiences how to turn off the body’s alarm systems in order to feel more relaxed and at ease in their bodies and in life. As a Yoga Alliance 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, I have taught over 250 hours of in-person or zoom classes. My specialties include the following: -Hatha Yoga 300-hour advanced studies -Kundalini Yoga 200-hour teacher training -Silver Age Yoga 25-hour continuing education certification -Trauma-informed Yoga 60-hour continuing education certification -Prenatal Yoga 14-hour continuing education certification I work with seniors, seniors with dementia, developmentally disabled adults, blind or low-vision adults, and those dealing with mental health challenges due to PTSD and trauma. ** All classes are currently taught online via zoom due to the pandemic. I provide tech support help when needed and my classes are taught from a secure high-speed internet connection for fewer interruptions.
