Teaching Yoga

My desire to teach has been with me for many years, and it was through my love of practicing the Ashtanga Primary Series that I found the right subject. I wanted to spread the joy and benefits of yoga to others. Leaving my high tech career of many years behind, I took the leap of faith and completed my 200-hour teaching certification with Linda McGrath at YogaSource Los Gatos in 2014. 

 

Just as we are unique in each of our own life experiences, yoga serves different purpose for each one of us. When teaching, my aim is to help my students discover their own meaning of yoga. Through my own practice, I have learned that patience, foundational work and consistency is vital to a sustainable practice. While I love the constancy of the Primary Series, I also love the freedom of creative flow sequence of Vinyasa.  These two styles of yoga practice heavily influence the way I teach my classes.

In class, my goal is to teach body awareness and movements, one of many important aspects of yoga that we can bring into other areas of our daily lives. My role is to help facilitate the process of your practice with kind intelligence – being safe, preventing injuries while having fun on the mat. Hopefully, along the way, we will together learn to discover more of ourselves and experience the transformation this practice has to offer for each of us.

 

Namaste.
