At my very first Yoga class, I felt an authenticity deep inside myself that I didn't have a way to access previously. Yoga has been in my life for 40 years. In 2003, I received my teacher certification from the Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health, in Massachusetts.
My teaching and learning continues to be informed and enriched by courses, workshops and retreats. I have graduated from yoga therapy training with Leila Stuart at Centerpoint Yoga Therapy School. I went to India to travel and study yoga therapy at Yoga Raksanam in the Krishnamacharya tradition.
I am particularly interested in the therapeutic and restorative potential of Yoga as a valuable healing modality. As well as my regular classes, I enjoy working with older adults and other clients developing specific programs for their needs. After much success with my Chair Yoga classes, I am offering a Teaching Chair Yoga course for yoga teachers.
Sharing the wisdom of Yoga is a joy to me and I aspire to facilitate comfort and ease in each class, so that the health benefits, - mental, physical and Spiritual - can be felt and realized by all.
