My Background in Yoga I was intuitively drawn to begin my own Yoga practice at age 15 and learned through books and TV programs before taking my first Yoga classes in 1980. I continued developing my own practice for altogether 20 years before doing Yoga teacher training. My first Yoga teacher training was done in 1996 at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox Massachusetts. After completing the training, I spent another year living there as a Karma Yogi , immersing myself in a Yogic lifestyle after a three month Spiritual Lifestyle Training program.  I was mentored by Kripalu's finest directors while acting as a Yoga program assistant. I also was invited to join the "Sadhana team", or be on the roster of teachers who taught group classes for the residents and public. I left Kripalu in 1998 and dedicated myself to learning how to market and deliver Yoga programs for the public. I moved to Victoria in Fall of '98, and was in on the ground floor of bringing Yoga into the mainstream here, through teaching for community recreation and government facilities. I have been actively teaching here in the Greater Victoria area continuously since then. In 2000, I undertook a second training in Advanced Yoga Studies with Donna Farhi during her first international teacher training program in Canada. This opened new doors of perception based on her profound teachings of integrating Developmental Movement into Yoga, that greatly evolved my practice and teaching. My unique style is a combination of these trainings, years of experience in the field, my background in creative dance and movement, and thousands of hours of teaching classes.
