Penni Thorpe is a registered yoga teacher and certified flower essence practitioner. During her 20 years of yoga experience she has been drawn to working with people who can benefit from all layers of yoga as well as adapting her practice for special populations. She is a co-founder of the San Mateo nonprofit yoga center, Yoga at CHANGE, and currently teaches prenatal, postpartum, yoga with babysitting, extra gentle, restorative, meditation and Integral Yoga based classes.


Over the years as a yoga instructor Penni has looked for modalities that assist her students in their lives and has been most drawn to healing powers of flower essences and therapeutic touch.


Penni started using flower essences with her children when they were young. She found them so helpful that she received her certification in 2003 with the California Flower Essence Society. She has also studied Therapeutic Touch extensively, including learning from one of the founders of TT, Dolores Krieger, Ph.D.


In addition to flower essence and therapeutic touch consultations, Penni is also available for private Yoga sessions. For a list of on-going public yoga classes please check the schedule at www.yogaatchange.com.
