About Gretchen

Gretchen Nelson, a Bay Area native, became certified as a yoga instructor in 1990 and received her masters in Science, Physical Therapy from University of California, San Franciso in 1997. In her 17 years of yoga experience, Gretchen has progressed from teaching general yoga classes (Hatha including Bikram, Flow, Astanga) to specializing in one on one sessions, which integrate her yoga and physical therapy expertise. Her consulting and physical therapy services have saved large clients such as UPS millions of dollars.

Yoga teachers, students, and people of all backgrounds who are experiencing physical restrictions or pain with movement, consult Gretchen. Through neuromuscular-skeletal assessment, hands-on bodywork and movement prescriptions, Gretchen assists people of all ages in restoring health and establishing non-harmful yoga practices. Gretchen is now educating massage therapists, yoga, and pilates teachers with the intention of improving their effectiveness in their own teaching and practice.
