Maxine is a Critical Care Nurse Practitioner who found yoga out of necessity. With her medical background, she focuses on anatomy and alignment, preventing injury, and the use of yoga to relieve pain. She stresses slow mindful movement with the holding of postures to build strength and balance, linking movement with breath, and the use breath work in meditation. Maxine’s classes often build to a peak posture or focus on a specific body part/group of muscles and their supporting structures.
