Accessible movement, breathwork, and meditation for aging well, right up until the end of life.
Active at 50+ looking to strengthen your functional abilities as you age
Who we are
Through private yoga sessions at home, I support people in palliative care, caregivers, and active people over 50. I also offer customized individual and small group classes in care homes, hospitals, and hospice settings.
If you’re already familiar with yoga, you know that by the end of a lesson you feel better than you did before. If you’ve never tried it, now is the best time to begin.
Like the in-home yoga practices, you get to stay in the comfort of your own space, while we connect online to guide you through a sequence of movement, breathwork, and meditation. A complementary needs assessment is scheduled beforehand so I can design the right practice for you.
Classes
Choose from a variety of themes designed to support positive aging, health conditions, caregiving, and palliative care.

The spine is home to our central nervous system and so important to the whole body and brain. As we age we feel the effects of gravity, and the habits of poor sleep or posture. Yoga for the backbone includes gentle twists, lateral bends, supported forward bends, and back bends to open up space between the vertebrae. We also work on building core strength to support spinal health.

One of the most important tools for preventing osteoporosis is weight bearing exercise. Harvard Medical School reports that a consistent yoga practice for as little as 12 minutes daily can increase bone density and help to prevent falls. Transition Yoga can guide you safely through yoga asanas such as warrior pose, chair pose, bridge pose, and tree pose, which are ideal for bone health and balance. I’ll work with you to establish a regular routine in your daily schedule. Once you get started, you’ll never want to stop.
Check out some of our pre-recorded videos for short practices you can do at home. They include bed-based practices, chair yoga, and standing sequences. Not only do we have videos for movement, but also there are breathing practices and meditations. Transition Yoga’s YouTube channel is updated regularly with new lessons.

I’ve been doing yoga for over 30 years, experienced a multitude of teaching styles and teachers, and have to say that Erika’s yoga classes are the most restorative yoga experiences I’ve ever had. My private classes with her were my weekly moment of inner peace and rejuvenation. I’d walk in with my mind full and my body tired and sometimes achy, and I’d walk out feeling taller, stronger and lighter — with a beautiful sense of inner peace and calm. Her compassionate, gentle approach, deep knowledge on older adult bodies and their needs, along with her depth of yoga experience and knowledge were well received during our sessions. I cannot recommend her 1:1s enough!
