We're in this together, and we all want to feel good, so customizing and building a stress-reducing, strengthening, healing, mind-body experience is the goal.

Hi, I’m Deirdre ( Didi) McKay.

As a certified yoga teacher (YTT 400+) with years of experience as an educator and program developer, I aim for results and life improvements using clear directives for every learning style. How do we integrate all the parts of ourselves? I'm a certified mindfulness coach, artist, writer and lifelong mover with a passion for making wellness accessible to everyone.

Through much exploration of ancient wellness practices and travel to study in places such as Peru, India, Vietnam and Europe, I continue to blend global ideologies into my classes. I teach a mix of functional exercise, breathing exercises, meditative asana, movement and healing.

I believe in building strength by continually expanding mindsets with practical tools you can use in daily life, whether you're on the beach, in a chair, or joining from your living room. Join the type of class that suits you where you are in life now.

Working with diverse populations - I’ve taught yoga in libraries, community centers, senior homes, retreats, special-needs schools and fitness studios and I love to customize sessions for your needs, with gentle, functional movement that supports you through all stages and phases of life, whether post-injury, pre-surgery or daily anxiety reduction,

My teaching style draws from a yoga toolkit that includes Ashtanga, Kundalini, Vinyasa and Hatha. My life training includes dance, Pilates, sports training, meditation, and global ceremony. I love to bring a class into new realms by introducing new movements. Each class is different, but they are all rooted in breath, balance, strength, and presence.

I created The Self-Care Chair as a way to bring healing, mindful movement to those who love feeling good.

Let’s move, breathe, and feel better—together.
