You can find her online for Zoom calls or retreats, now spending winters in Hawaii with her husband, Bill, October through April, where her daughter teaches surf lessons year round.Her yoga philosophy is the breath, posture, and patience. She loves to learn and to impart that knowledge to her students, emphasizing those principles. Her love of learning led her to study Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, through the Maharishi Ayurveda Association of America to compliment her healing emphasis. She specializes in TRE or Trauma Release Exercises developed by David Bercelli, PhD, as well as postural work using the Egoscue Method. She incorporates the gong and crystal bowls into her yoga classes for a vibrational healing experience.
She is also a Reiki Master and sends love and healing in all of her classes. She discovered Medical Qi Gong that enhanced her yoga teaching, which led to studying Acupressure. The combination of this all comes together with the Body Code Technique! This is a manifestation system that allows us to release long-held patterns in our bodies that translate into physical symptoms and emotional stressors, choosing love in the face of fear!
