I was inspired to train as a yoga teacher after experiencing the profound effect it had on my health. It supported me through two "mature" pregnancies and continues to help me balance life with two teenagers and stay healthy with a rare auto-immune condition. The precision and versatility of Iyengar yoga drew me towards its more detailed approach. I am a fully certified teacher, (intermediate level 2) but still consider myself a perpetual learner, and regularly attend workshops with senior teachers from around the world. I have done 3 intensives with Geeta Iyengar, the last one in India. My passion and joy for the inward journey of yoga is what motivated me to teach, and keep trying to find clarity of mind and equilibrium.. I am also a practitioner of Yoga For The Special Child, having trained with its founder internationally renowned teacher, Sonia Sumar. I have enjoyed with people with disabilities and chronic health problems Yoga and firmly believe Yoga is for everyBODY. |
