Yoga Instruction
I first encountered Yoga on a study group to Southern India with Colgate University in 1991. I was then 18 years old and searching for a way to quiet my frenzied mind. I was also searching for deep meaning and for solace. There I met Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar, a profoundly gifted Yoga teacher, in the Viniyoga tradition. The simplicity and purity of his teaching style helped me to connect deeply with the essence of the teachings, and so began my life long love of yoga.
While living in Virginia in 2003, I achieved a certification in the Kundalini Yoga Tradition. I was drawn to the conscious movement of energy throughout the body, the use of sound current, and the rapid personal transformation this style of Yoga engenders.
I also enjoy the focus upon chakra healing and chakra balancing that is practiced in this tradition.
Today, I am studying again in the Viniyoga tradition, and continue to deepen my personal practice. When teaching, I draw upon both of these Yoga Traditions and customize the experience to the individual’s needs. Everyone’s personal journey is sacred and meaningful. My teaching style connects to each student at the soul level and establishes a heart felt connection. Through this relationship and steady practice, transformation happens. Gradually the level of self care and well being increases, and an over tired, over stressed, over worked way of living decreases.
My style of teaching will help you to:
• Love where you are
• Love who you are
• Begin from where you are
• Set reasonable goals
• Grow into your practice
• Fit your practice into your life
• Connect more deeply with yourself
• Enjoy being in your body
• Gain in personal awareness, well-being, clarity and health
