Delores

During her 15 years in the wellness industry, Delores has worked with a wide range of clients, including beginners, persons with limited mobility, fitness enthusiasts and seniors. After teaching strength and Pilates for many years, she came to yoga in 2018 after experiencing a side-lining foot injury and mental burnout (both as a fitness instructor and an attorney). While completing her yoga teacher training in 2019, she was pleasantly surprised by the increased mental and physical resilience she experienced when engaging in the movement aspect of yoga, as well as when practicing breathwork and meditation.

All of these yogic practices were crucial to her well-being after learning that her 22-year-old godson—a Private in the army—had died by suicide. Delores now supports others who are navigating the grief journey by serving as a GriefShare facilitator and a Mindful Grieving Yoga facilitator. She also supports military and Veterans populations through her work as a Warriors at Ease trauma informed yoga and mindfulness instructor.

While working with these populations, Delores developed a love for teaching accessible yoga classes that are welcoming to persons regardless of age, size, ability, or experience level. To that end, she completed her Accessible Yoga Training and teaches a wide-variety of classes, including yoga classes where her chair and non-chair students can practice alongside one another. Delores’ students often comment that they appreciate her clear cues, calming voice, and her ability to explain how they can adapt yoga poses to address their injuries, as well as mobility and flexibility challenges.
