In-home compassionate care including companionship, intellectual stimulation, breathing and movement specifically and safely adapted from the principles of therapeutic yoga to the capacity of the client. This can range from extremely simplified movement without leaving a mostly sedentary position or a chair to a customized yoga practice. I also teach and guide meditation practices when desired, and can do this is in a non-direct subtle fashion to assist navigating the emotions surrounding the transitions of end of life. It does not have to be called yoga or meditation.I will take the time to get to know your loved one and help find ways to help her or him remain engaged in life and assist in finding peace with what is possible and adapting as that continues to shift through time. I never force nor have a specific agenda. I am here to support and always treat people with respect and dignity, just as they are.My longest client was a French woman in her 90s that I worked with for four years. Her French doctors suggested she learn "yogic breathing" to develop and maintain internal core strength to support her deteriorating back. This transformed into daily care with appropriate movement for range of motion, strength and balance as well as to keep body awareness and mind-body coordination active. In addition to specific movement exercises we took walks, swam at the YMCA and other outings including lunch at nearby restaurants.Through time we have extensively discussed her life, much of which I have written down for the family to keep. In the process of this we considered what she may be able to do that could bring her joy and purpose in light of her changing health and abilities, and in her case this turned out to be translating poetry from French to English and English to French. Together we compiled a large volume of translated French poetry.To learn more about the work I have done with her, visit www.deniseporterkemp.wordpress.com/2014/02/18/translation/

Concord, Nh

Developed and maintain a yoga and meditation program for women's sober living facility. I work with some clients long term, as many begin treatment at New Freedom Academy where I also offer yoga, and then transfer to The Granite House for Women. My intention is to share postural yoga as a meditation practice in itself as well as experiential metaphor for the teachings of yoga, which transcend the physical practice. I teach in a way that clients can utilize these life skills teachings even if they do not continue to practice yoga as well as to help interested students develop a practice they can continue on their own after they leave the facility.When program moved location I did not continue offering yoga.
