How long have I been teaching?: 8 years
Why do I practice & teach yoga?: Yoga helped me with the aches and pains of my four pregnancies (especially as an "older" mom). As I\\\'ve aged, it is the exercise of the body and mind that I continue to enjoy. In my college Yoga course, it was pointed out to me, that I have a gift of being able to teach yoga to others. With that encouragement, I then sought out being trained.
Now, I love teaching beginners, those with body issues, and prenatal ladies. (And every once in a while, a challenging physical practice!)
Who did I obtain teacher training from?:
Victoria College - Yoga Course
YogaFit Levels 1 - 5, Anatomy,
YogaFit Seniors, Kids, Prenatal, YogaButt, YogaCore, YogaStrength and Sculpt and Katheryn Rober's Yoga for the Golfer. Moving through Stillness Yoga,
PiYo & Silver Sneakers YogaStretch. Sub for Pilates.

Tues/Thurs @ 11 a.m @ YMCA, Daily Practice
