Yael loves delving deeply into what heals us, what helps build our resiliency, and what allows us to be courageous and active agents in our communities. To that end, she began practicing yoga 25+ years ago while doing organizing with immigrant communities, and became a teacher in 2006 as a way to bring healing to those on the front lines of creating a more just world. She soon fell in love with Yin Yoga, studying with Paul Grilley, credited with creating Yin Yoga and an expert in functional anatomy; Sarah Powers, who popularized Yin Yoga by integrating it with both mindfulness and Taoist meridians; and Biff Mithoefer, who incorporates storytelling and shamanic teachings into his teachings.
As a yoga therapist and seasoned facilitator, coach and energy worker, Yael offers group and one-on-one sessions in clinical, educational, community and faith-based settings. She serves as core and guest faculty of several 200 hour and advanced yoga teacher trainings and is a voracious reader and life-long learner, most recently doing cadaver dissections with Gil Hedley and a yearlong program with Dr. Gabor Mate in Compassionate Inquiry.
Studio Waiver
As the student taking classes or workshops at the studio, via livestream or by video (the “Classes”) with Circle Yoga Cooperative (CYC), I understand that the Classes include physical movements and exertion. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the Classes. I represent that I am in good health and physical condition and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Classes. In addition, when in the Classes, I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class begins. If I am pregnant, become pregnant, or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature below verifies that I have my physician’s approval to participate. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes, I expressly irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter for any reason against Circle Yoga LLC, its owners, employees, and independent contractors, for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in a Class.
