I began practicing yoga in San Francisco in 2000 and
teaching in 2005. As my practice grew, the desire to deeply
understand the meaning and application of the asanas and
yoga philosophy inspired me to complete the 500-hour
Advanced Studies Teacher in Training program at the
Iyengar Institute of San Francisco, where I apprenticed with
Joe Naudzunas. Maintaining an active home practice,
study with senior teachers and continuing study of the
Bhagavadgita and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali keeps the desire
to pursue this path fresh...
More and more people are curious and endeavouring, drawn
to the practice of yoga, which, at a glance, can be seen as
mere physical exercise, perhaps for only certain body and
personality types. This is wholly false. Yoga is for anyone,
any body, during any phase of life. By opening ourselves to
yoga we are seeking and accessing our more true and highest
potential. This is not contingent on physical ability but on
the desire and willingness to move toward that higher
purpose where in doing so, true beauty and contentment are
to be found. Yoga is for all people. I welcome and encourage
all walks of life and ability to my classes.
Iyengar yoga has been one of the vehicles to profound
transformation during these years of teaching, practicing
and apprenticeship. I have experienced great resilience
through health challenges and tools for maintaining the
return of that health. My hope for students is to find for
themselves how Iyengar yoga can enrich their lives and to
live their practice well.
