About Harriet Grace
After teaching traditional asana for a year in Brooklyn NY with a 200-RYT certification, I sustained a knee injury that had me doubting yoga as a movement practice that could last a lifetime. Since then I've used knowledge acquired from ASFYT (anatomy studies for yoga teachers) as well as certifications in Yoga Tune Up and The Roll Model Method to adapt my practice for strength, longevity and functional movement. My current practice incorporates myofascial massage with therapy balls, resistance bands and a keen presence with the particular body I'm working with; dogmatic adherence to rules of alignment can often impede progress when it ignores that all bodies are different, and perhaps more importantly - ALL bodies benefit from varying loads in movement. I emphasize strength in the mid range over flexibility in the end range and a practice that protects joints, not egos.
I love that everytime I engage with a new student, I get to learn about a body that is different from my own. I also love that the work of yoga is deeply restorative and it is an honor to be part of anyone's self care regimine.
I've always loved yoga and simply wanted to be a part of others' wellness journeys.
200-hr RYT with yoga alliance, partial completion of ASFYT (in progress), Yoga Tune Up level 1 certification, Roll Model Method certification, experience teaching in Brooklyn, NYC.

I like to start with a phone call or Skype session to get a feel for what the student hopes to gain from practicing yoga and ensure that my instruction would be a good fit for them. Next, we would have our first session at their house where I would look at how their body moves through some basic poses to assess what areas of focus would be most therapeutic to them. Moving forward, I would design sequences catered specifically to their evolving needs.
A wide spectrum from the hypermobile dancer to the super tight athlete, the fresh out of college student to the spry senior citizen. I welcome any student with any (or no) yoga experience.
Be open and honest about what you seek in a teacher. No one stands to gain anything by forcing a relationship that doesn't fit.
I had the privilege of working with a marathon runner who had the exact opposite body as myself. Where I was hypermobile, he was excessively tight. Where my femurs rolled in, his taut hips turned his feet out. Where I needed vigor, he needed down -regulation. Together we massaged out his overworked muscles and turned on his sympathetic nervous system with a gentle practice that honored what his body desperately needed over his tendency to go-go-go.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What physical imbalances do you perceive yourself to have?
In the time you carve out for self-care, which do you need more of: down regulation, or active stimulation?
Do you prefer a practice that is 100% vinyasa flow, or are you open to other modalities woven in where appropriate, such as myofascial massage or resistance bands?
Do you enjoy a teacher who overexplains things, or do you need quiet space to move through your practice?
How do you want to feel after practicing yoga? Detoxed? Restored? Energized? Powerful? Tranquil?
