"I've always prided myself on giving people a lot of care. It's a strength," Tolman said. She recounted, for instance, the modifications she recently designed for a client, who sometimes brings a new grandbaby to her private lesson. Tolman's goal is to offer a superior level of care, and while the format of her business has expanded, her philosophy hasn't changed. She speaks as passionately about the needs of her older clients, whom she taught via Zoom for much of the pandemic, as she does of the peaceful modalities she hopes to impart upon teens and children who visit the studio. "e goal is to capture the needs of many different populations," she said. For a novice, Tolman suggests beginning yoga, gentle yoga or an all-levels class. With so many options, she implores beginners to try a different class if they don't find the right fit on the first try. Generally, participants should be 12 years or older (except for the children's class), and for safety, no one under 16 may participate in hot yoga. "I want the community to know this is here. I consider myself a healer, and I want this for all different levels, and for all different parts of the community,'' said Tolman.
