Yoga Instruction in Berkeley, CA and Beyond for Flexible, Confident Movement
Lori Cable Fitness and Wellness offers virtual yoga instruction in Berkeley, CA and beyond for adults who want to improve flexibility, mobility, balance, and comfort with movement. Lori’s yoga sessions are calm, supportive, and designed to meet your body where it is today.
You do not need to be flexible, experienced, or already comfortable with yoga to begin. Lori’s approach is a strong fit for beginners, adults over 50, and people who need modifications because of old injuries, stiff joints, or limited range of motion.
Behind Lori’s soothing voice, fluid movements, and gentle coaching is a strong background in dance, fitness, and yoga. Through virtual yoga instruction, Lori helps you move with more awareness, confidence, and ease from the comfort of your own home.
A Yoga Practice Built Around Your Comfort Level
Yoga should feel supportive, not intimidating. Some people come to yoga because they want to stretch. Others want better balance, improved posture, reduced stress, or a way to stay active without feeling pushed too hard. Lori takes time to understand your comfort level and guides you through movements that feel realistic for your body.
Her sessions may include gentle yoga poses, stretching, breathing awareness, mobility work, balance support, and mindful movement. Each session is adapted to your needs so you can feel more comfortable and confident as you practice.
One-on-One Yoga Sessions and Small Group Yoga Classes
Lori Cable Fitness and Wellness offers both formats.
One-on-one yoga instruction gives you private support, a pace that matches your body, and modifications tailored specifically to you. This is especially helpful if you are new to yoga, returning after time away, working with stiffness or injury, or simply prefer a more personal approach.
Small group yoga classes offer a more social experience while still providing thoughtful guidance from Lori. These classes support flexibility, mobility, balance, breathing awareness, and confidence with movement in a shared setting.
Suggested Equipment for Virtual Yoga Sessions
You do not need a large setup to begin. A few simple items can make sessions more comfortable:
Yoga or
fitness mat
Two yoga blocks
One yoga strap
If you don’t have these yet, Lori can help you start with what you have and suggest simple additions when the time is right.
Who Yoga Instruction Is For
Beginners
If you have never tried yoga before, Lori’s instruction can help you start in a way that feels simple and welcoming. You do not need to know pose names or understand how yoga works. Lori explains movements clearly, offers modifications when needed, and helps you learn at your own pace. Virtual sessions make this even easier — you practice in a familiar space without the pressure of a studio environment.
Adults over 50
Many people in this stage of life want to stay flexible, mobile, and active, but need instruction that respects where their body currently is — stiffness, joint discomfort, old injuries, or changing energy levels included. Lori adjusts every session to support your comfort while still helping you build flexibility, balance, and better daily movement.
People dealing with stiffness, old injuries, or limited mobility.
If you have avoided yoga because you feel too stiff or are worried about aggravating an old injury, Lori’s approach may be a good fit. Her background as both a yoga instructor and a certified personal trainer means she understands how to adapt movements to your individual needs — not push you into positions that don’t work for your body.
Yoga Is Not Only for People Who Are Already Flexible
This is one of the most common reasons people put off starting yoga — and it’s not accurate. Yoga can be the practice that builds flexibility, not the reward for having it already. You do not need to touch your toes, sit cross-legged comfortably, or move without restriction to benefit from a yoga practice.
Lori’s instruction helps you move through stretches and poses in a way that feels safe and manageable. She can slow the pace, offer modified versions of movements, and help you understand how to adjust based on how your body feels that day. This is especially useful if you have tight hips, limited range of motion, or discomfort that has made traditional exercise feel discouraging.
Lori helps make yoga feel less like a performance and more like a personal practice.

How Yoga and Personal Training Work Together
Because Lori is also an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, her yoga instruction can blend with personal training when it fits your goals. Some clients want yoga exclusively. Others benefit from a mix of yoga-based movement, gentle strength work, stretching, balance, and mobility exercises — a combination that supports both flexibility and functional fitness.
Lori can help you decide what type of session makes the most sense for your body and your goals. Your practice can be purely yoga, fitness-supported, or somewhere in between.
