Miki is an outstanding clinician and yoga instructor. She has a unique and invaluable skill set where she is able to merge her intelligence and wealth of orthopedic experience and human body movement and mechanics with the practice of yoga. She is caring and kind but also has the right amount of encouragement to push me to be my best. Most importantly, Miki has a deep and genuine commitment to the overall wellbeing of her patients. She listens and adapts her practice to my unique situation for that day. Her compassionate approach to healing and wellness has given me hope and optimism as I recover and grow stronger and more confident both physically and spiritually. I can’t thank her enough! Namaste

There are so many great and wonderful benefits I receive from Miki’s class. As a physical therapist Miki has an extension knowledge base of body mechanics and years of experience. The first few minutes of class Miki will talk about a body part, i.e., quads are key muscles in yoga. Contracting them directly stretches the hamstrings when seated or standing poses. It’s a mini education on how to execute and prepare certain muscle groups to fire going into a yoga pose. The combined benefits of Miki’s physical therapy and yoga experience is invaluable! Miki creates a fun and synergistic yoga sequence for all levels of yoga.

I am a yoga lover that took weekly group classes until Covid, and then I began doing at-home yoga videos. I felt “good” after the videos but felt there was something lacking because I was unsure how to do certain poses and wanted to get tips on how to make poses work specifically with my body. So, I searched thumbtack and decided to reach out to Miki to learn about her services. Taking personal yoga lessons with Miki has been a game-changer! In just a few fun lessons, I have greatly improved my yoga practice. From the comfort of my own home, I get the benefit of a yoga session that is specifically tailored to my needs and wishes for that day. I am able to work on various stretches and sequences, learning tips that work for my body in real-time. Miki’s excellent teaching skills plus her ability to answer questions, offer tips for postures, and easily guide me though poses during my personal session makes for a hour of absolutely amazing self care! I am so grateful and happy to have the benefit of Miki’s expertise, and you will be too! :)

Miki is a terrific physical therapist (PT) and Yoga teacher! I had Miki as my physical therapist for both shoulder replacements. My husband and I attend her Chair Yoga sessions regularly, the best!
