HIP Yoga-"The studio that comes to you!"

Yoga, Fitness Training, Exercise Rehab, Restorative Yoga Therapy & Meditation are all incredibly beneficial for the individual living with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes:

A consistent and appropriate exercise practice has been proven to help stabilize blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure and even aid in normalizing cholesterol levels especially raising HDL levels.

Additional Benefits:

•Weight (Body Fat) Release
•Building Lean, Supple Muscle Tissue
•Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with our Bodies
•Enjoying a Healthy Mental and Emotional State/ Feeling Balanced
•Cultivating a Deeper Sense of Motivation to Care for Ourselves
•Eating a Healthy, Moderate Diet out of Respect for our Body is a Tenet of the Yogic Lifestyle
•Managing the Stress and Frustration that is part of Living with Diabetes

As an individual living with Type 1 Diabetes for 18 years I bring to my work a personal passion, life experience, a professional education in my field, and a unique perspective. I understand the challenges and opportunities of living with Type 1 Diabetes and since the dis-ease manifested itself in my 24th year of life I also understand what it feels like to live life a certain way and then have to change not only your lifestyle but also your perspective.

At Hip Yoga I specialize in private instruction. All private students begin with a comprehensive Wellness Consultation so that we can address their specific health and wellness needs and tailor a truly customized program of active yoga, fitness training, exercise rehab, meditation/relaxation techniques or gentle restorative yoga therapy.
