🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris 🎉 If you have yet to take class with Chris Tuesdays at 6pm you are in for a treat! He brings intelligence & creativity to his sequencing. You'll be sure to 'feel it' the next day! 🧘 Chris first discovered yoga in the early 2000's, but initially only maintained an inconsistent dvd-based practice at home. It wasn't until after a hip injury in 2017 that he began to develop a more serious yoga practice. He's always been fascinated with movement; having grown up skateboarding and snowboarding, understanding how the body moves (and the sizable impact that even the smallest variations in movement can make) has been a key area of focus. This interest was reinforced as he began practicing martial arts in 2010 and started learning more about efficient movement, which is a concept he brings onto the mat.
Chris loves to build fun and challenging classes that get you to explore and maximize your range of motion.

I’ve been teaching gentle yoga to older adults for a while now, and one thing I hear a lot is: “I wish I could do this at home.”

I use Zoom and I also have many classes on a senior-friendly yoga app (short, gentle sessions — chair and standing options). The app is called Oseterics.

If you’d like to try it for 6 months free, I have a few free access codes and I’d love your honest feedback.

Message me Joanne Hader Morrison if this sounds like something you’d actually use; If you prefer not to message me I do also have a few videos on my site at

Yoga for active aging.

RELEASE DAY!! Available now across all listening platforms!
A deeply calming meditation and yoga music track created to support meditation, savasana, nervous system regulation, or even ease the transition into sleep.

This 90-minute recording features the Maha Mrityunjaya Healing Mantra, repeated 108 times—a sacred number in yogic tradition symbolizing wholeness and completion. The mantra is attributed to the ancient sage Vasishtha, making this practice thousands of years old and rooted in one of the oldest lineages of wisdom.

Slow, steady pacing and gentle ambient tonal layers create a grounded, spacious atmosphere, helping the body soften, the breath slow, and the mind settle. This consistent rhythm can support a shift toward alpha brainwave activity, a state commonly associated with calm focus, relaxation, and meditative awareness—making it especially supportive for meditation or before sleep.

Ideal for savasana, restorative and yin yoga, breathwork, meditation, or falling asleep naturally.

Suitable for personal practice or professional yoga teaching.

Thank you to those of you who supported me directly from my my website!
