About
The reason I hold yoga in such high regard is due to how it helped me in my own personal healing journey. My approach to teaching revolves around the concept of strength and surrender while always emphasizing proper alignment and breath control. My style of teaching is particularly beneficial for those interested in forging a deeper connection with themselves both on and off the mat. During my sessions, I establish a sanctuary for you to find inner-calm, playfully assess your limits, and feel more connected to your physical form. Individually tailored sessions are designed to cultivate length and space within your body, promoting energy and blood flow while also building awareness around your core, and unlocking your hips which often hold the weight of emotions and information. Throughout practice, I offer unwavering support for your physical, emotional, and energetic states while helping you uncover and untangle any long-standing tension patterns.

I derive immense pleasure from guiding my clients through a gentle dance between comfort and discomfort, enabling them to confront their sensations in order to release them. This transformational process takes time, so I always aim to work with clients long-term.

I'm currently in my final year of Chinese medicine school and have started to incorporate wisdom from the medicine into my practice sessions. This includes the use of cupping!

I charge for an 80-minute session, which I find works best. I'm more than happy to schedule a 15-minute phone consultation to answer any queries you might have.

Lastly, I'm available for any special events, group classes, or retreats. Just ask!

**Please note, I may charge extra for travel outside of the East Bay area.

Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

Sincerely,
Orly

Orly's services were exceptional! Despite being delayed due to our flights, she was willing to accommodate us. She did a fantastic job of catering to our differing levels of yoga expertise. As a group of New Yorkers in town for a Bachelorette, Orly provided us with mats and a lovely setup, making it a perfect activity. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but she was also incredibly accommodating. I would highly recommend her services to both friends and family!

Working with Orly was simply incredible! As a coordinator for a work event, I found Orly to be highly responsive and patient despite the numerous exchanges we had. She demonstrated great flexibility in understanding and implementing changes. Our team adored her, and the session received rave reviews from everyone. I undoubtedly will contact her for future yoga events! :)

The exceptional yoga instructor, Orly, added a delightful aura to our bachelorette weekend which made us adore her. Her yoga class was outstanding and she customized it to match our celebratory weekend. Moreover, she thoughtfully brought a gift for the bride-to-be, making our weekend even more memorable. I strongly suggest Orly as she was deeply cherished by us!

I am compelled to share my experience as a student of Orly's, as she has been gracious enough to share her craft with me. My work with Orly has been life-changing, providing me with new perspectives on challenge, patience, flexibility, accountability, and awareness of my body and space. Although I have taken several yoga classes and worked with fitness and wellness practitioners one-on-one in the past, no one else has provided me with the push I need while checking in to ensure that the practice meets me where I am in each moment. Orly is attentive, patient, supportive, diligent, professional, and a great communicator both in and outside of practice. Despite not viewing myself as a true beginner, I realized that previous yoga classes and sessions I had taken had focused on either the spiritual or fitness aspect alone. With Orly, I was able to experience a holistic approach to yoga with her plentiful knowledge, structured spontaneity, humility, and grace. Thank you so much, Orly!
