LEARNING AND TEACHING

“At this moment, I’m focused on shining light on the elements of yoga that got lost as it traveled to the west. To that end, I work with teacher training programs delivering modules of history, culture, and philosophy. I offer pranayama, meditation, and other practices that serve to enhance a strong asana practice. I also offer mentoring for spiritual seekers and teachers who might want guidance on accessing some of these teachings and incorporating them into their classes or personal practice.” She explains that the teacher-student relationship is a vital part of yoga. She considers herself a learner as well as a teacher, and although she’s practiced under many amazing teachers throughout her life, she’d still love to find a go-to teacher to reach out to during her journey. And she would like to use her website talks and practices to offer that relationship to other learners. “As a way to show gratitude for the teachers in my life, I have created a monthly circle for yoga teachers where we hold space for each other, discuss concerns that come up in class, and explore various topics within this vast ancient wisdom tradition. Since both my learning and teaching process is constantly evolving, my hope is that what I have to offer may help those who are on the path as I am.”
