I am a lifelong student a nature lover art lover and a teacher invigorated by the ancient healing arts of India and China  Since I have been teaching yoga encouraging students to develop self-awareness and watching them blossom as they cultivate playfulness and self-acceptance in their movements  The loss of loved ones and a diagnosis of breast cancer during the Covid pandemic prompted me to further expand my commitment to preventative health practices  I was introduced to Energy Medicine Yoga with Lauren Walker and became certified as a Hr Holden Tier Qigong Instructor and a certified Spring Forest Qigong Group Practice Leader This training has enhanced the  solid foundation in Yoga instruction Ive gained over the past years from the Temple of Kriya Yoga the Center for Integrative Yoga Studies  the School of Pranakriya Yoga Healthy Arts Physical Therapy and Yoga for Healthy Aging with Baxter Bell MD Additional study of Mindful Awareness with Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield has enriched my sense of gratitude open-heartedness and well-being My goal is to offer warm nurturing instruction  based on ancient tested wisdom as well as contemporary science  I encourage students  to foster the skills for inner listening and self-monitoring so that they gain confidence to build a healthier peace-filled relationship with their unique body mind and spirit.
