Chambanamoms thanks Yoga RoKs for presenting this post.
Ronit Kahn is a Yoga Teacher who focuses on alignment, body awareness, and strengthening your body while increasing flexibility. She especially loves teaching Yoga fundamentals and beginner classes. She says, “I think taking care of your mind and body is important and that one-on-one sessions, specifically tailored to your needs, are beneficial no matter where you are in your Yoga journey. I’d love to help you find your comfortable pace and Yoga style!” She also teaches small group classes, if you have some family or friends who would like to join you.
