Naomi Graychase is a yoga teacher based in Bucksport, Maine who specializes in restorative/therapeutic yoga for adults and children. She holds a bachelor’s degree in American Studies and Secondary Education from Smith College, a 200-hour foundational yoga teaching credential in Hatha and Kundalini yoga, and a variety of special certifications in therapeutic, restorative, and children’s yoga techniques. She is also an NFPA-certified interior fire fighter (FFI/II). Most her work is private yoga instruction, generally in clinical or public school environments, but also with cancer patients, first-responders, and adult or teenaged students coping with chronic illness, injury, or stress. She has been teaching yoga for more than eight years and has seen first-hand how dramatically and meaningfully yoga, meditation, and mindfulness—or something as simple as a nice, deep breath–can assist with coping, healing, and resiliency in adults and children living with PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, autism, pain, sleep disturbances, stress, anger, and other issues.
