What started as just another way to exercise has turned into a life-long passion I am excited to share with others. I received my first yoga teaching certification in 2007 and began to teach yoga privately to friends, family and co-workers. Other than walking and swimming yoga has become my sole means of exercising. Through the years I have studied various forms of yoga and meditation. Let me share my experience, which I believe, helps to make me a well rounded yoga teacher. I'm a RN with 19 years Operating Room experience....15 of those in CVOR ( Cardio-Vascular OR) at St. This year I transferred to Cardiac Rehab. I have three ISSA National Personal Training Certifications (Certified Fitness Trainer, Specialist in Exercise Therapy, and Youth Fitness Trainer). Formerly, I worked at the YMCA for four years and currently at St. Luke's Hospital as a personal trainer. I have several Yoga certifications from Academy of Holistic Fitness (New Ideas For Today's Yoga Class: Yoga for the Elderly, Office Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Faith-Based Yoga and Meditation), Enlighten Your Body (Yoga Sculpt and Pilates), Vinyasa Specialist, Yoga for Prevention of Low Back Pain and Practical Yoga for Personal Trainers). I currently teach Chair and Mat Bone Builders for osteoporosis, Yoga For Those Impacted With Cancer, Power Yoga, and Mommies in Motion at St. Luke's Hospital
I also had the privilege to study under one of world's best yoga teachers,Bryan Kest, in an In-Depth Teacher Training which included understanding of the multi-dynamic possibilities of yoga, working with issues and injuries, philosophy, Sanskrit, and meditation. I have also studied several styles of meditation including Bhakti (meditation of gratitude), Jnana (meditation of observation), Karma (meditation of compassion), Metta (meditation of loving/kindness) and Vipassana. Allow me to share all the knowledge I have gained and serve you with your yoga/meditation needs. Whether you are looking for private yoga instruction or group yoga (office, church, retirement community or event) please give me a call and I will be happy to assist you in your Yoga journey.
