Peace and balance can be hard to come by in this insanely distracting culture in which we live.  Cell phones, TVs, tablets, computers---devices of all kinds pull us away from center, which is the ONLY place that peace and balance have the potential to live and thrive.  Yoga practice balanced me into peace in the early 1970s and again in 1995.  But these qualities, once discovered, don't stay unless we PRACTICE.   That said, peace and balance are not the goal of practice; rather they are the beginning of the adventure called "LIFE."

How do I describe myself and my teaching?  Not an easy task for sure. I am amiable, friendly, gentle, and genuinely interested in the well-being of my students and in helping them awaken their inner teacher, whether it be through asana, meditation, or writing.  Self-reflection is the key, not merely so that we can gaze at ourselves in the mirror of mind, but so that we might come to know ourselves as transcendent beings capable of change.

 

I've logged many hours of training in Yogic disciplines as diverse as Ashtanga-Vinyasa and Kundalini, and I've taken courses in basic shamanic journey techniques, including soul retrieval.  I've studied and practiced Access Bars. The more I study, the more I revel in the understanding that growth and healing are many faceted and that no one technique fits all students.  As I continue to learn and grow, so does my amazing toolbox of practices that I have available to share with my students.
