During her 18 years in the wellness industry, Delores has worked with a wide range of clients, including beginners, persons with limited mobility, fitness enthusiasts and seniors. Accordingly, she has always been mindful of meeting her yoga, pilates, and strength clients where they are. Yet, for many years she primarily chased the powerful side of her own physical abilities—until several pivotal events reshaped her journey, both emotionally and professionally.

After experiencing a sidelining foot injury, burnout, and later enrolling in a 200-hour yoga teacher training (YTT) program, she realized that she had been prioritizing staying in shape physically and staying on top of her then day-job as at attorney, but had failed to consider the importance of Sukha (comfort or ease).  During YTT training, she was astonished 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.

Indeed, these mindfulness practices were crucial to her well-being after learning that her 22-year-old godson—a Private in the army—had died by suicide.  She 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.

In all settings, Delores champions making yoga more welcoming to persons regardless of age, size, ability, or experience level. To that end, she leads a variety of classes, including beginner and chair yoga, as well as mixed classes where chair and non-chair students practice alongside one another.

Delores works with clients one-on-one, as well as in a variety of group settings, including senior villages, conferences, corporate offices, communal living buildings, as well as yoga studios and gyms.  Her goal is to help her clients achieve their health and wellness goals, as well as celebrate their strengths, while also honoring their bodies and nourishing their spirits.
