Ginger started her exploration of yoga 20+ years ago as a student of Kimberlee Orenstein’s while enrolled at the University of Nevada – Reno (B.S. Environmental & Natural Resource Science) and is a graduate of Kim’s 200-Hr RYT Training (Yoga Loka, 2020), as well as advanced trainings in Yin Yoga (with Bernie Clark and Diane Batts), Yoga for All © (with Dianne Bondy and Amber Karnes) and Trauma Informed/Lotus Method Yoga (with the Urban Lotus Project). Additionally, she has studied meditation and women’s energy at the Reno Psychic Institute, has facilitated self-esteem and personal/professional development programs for women (Creating Choices©) and is registered as an Accessible Yoga Ambassador with the Accessible Yoga Association. Ginger teaches gentle hatha-style yoga that focuses on functional alignment and stability, yin yoga and accessible yoga through the use of props and modifications. Her classes are often themed and involve a balance of pranayama, asana and meditation and are designed to encourage students to find balance and compassion within and with their bodies.
As a plus-sized yoga teacher, she truly believes that yoga is for every-BODY and welcomes all people because of their diverse level of yoga experience, body type, age, race, disability, gender identify, race, sexual orientation or religion/belief system.
