I am thankful to have found yoga study in 1991 and began teaching from BKS Iyengar's philosophy in 1996.
I choose this branch of yoga because the continued extensive knowledge gathered by the Iyengar family, including students and teachers from around the globe. Iyengar Yoga aims and succeeds at staying pure to the guidelines of the ancient yoga texts.
Along with yoga, my greatest passions include healthy communities, exploring natural and sacred places, backpacking, walking (especially in the woods), and cooking.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Geography from Florida State University, where I created a sustainability focus with emphasis on many ways of reducing carbon footprints and supporting local food.
I am grateful to explore and share in the teachings of BKS Iyengar, who truly found the purpose of asana as a way of self-study to cultivate optimal connection into layers to soul or self.
Iyengar Yoga is a refined art and science, teaching us to take more time to be in the body to receive the many rewards: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Your Yoga practice is your life-study, experiencing how to understand your inner workings and your relationships to all of humanity, and the natural and spiritual world.
