Yoga, meditation, Pilates, prenatal yoga, and prenatal Pilates instructor, personal trainer, worldwide traveler and hiker. EXPERIENCE & STYLE: For nearly a decade, I've been instructing classes at several centers throughout New York City as well as offering private sessions with a personal touch. In addition, every so often, I host a yoga retreat at an exotic locale for the journeyer in all of us. My slow-flow vinyasa yoga classes range from beginner to advanced. Private classes are tailored to the individual's needs. Sessions can be held at your home, gym, place of business, or my studio on East 86th St and 2nd Ave in Manhattan. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to share yoga with a wide variety of students including the blind, hearing impaired, HIV-positive, mentally ill, teenagers, seniors, moms-to-be, dancers, the injured, and disabled. Ultimately, we engage in the practice of yoga and meditation to take responsibility for our own peace, in body and mind. Yoga and meditation are the tools. How well and how often we use the tools determines our outcome. Wellness requires effort, dedication, as well as the delicate balance of rest and appreciation. As we explore our potential and possibilities through the practice of yoga and meditation, we find the process will continually unfold, opening to daily discoveries and heightened awareness.
EDUCATION & INFLUENCES: I received my 200-hour yoga-alliance instructor certification at NY Yoga in 2004 under the tutelage of Michael Gilbert, David Hollander and authorized ashtanga teacher Govinda Kai. Fortunately, living in New York allows me the opportunity to continually take classes with some of the world's more prominent yoga gurus, such as Dharma Mittra, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Isaac Pena, Dana Flynn, and Cyndi Lee. In addition, I've taken several workshops with John Friend and Douglas Brooks. For more of my influences, see my gratitude page. Expanding the spectrum, I'm also a certified prenatal yoga instructor, a certified Pilates instructor, including prenatal Pilates, and an ACE-certified personal trainer, since 2003. In other studies, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at SUNY Oneonta in 1986 and my Masters in Psychology at Hunter College in 1996. My Masters thesis, "AIDS: An Unconventional Perspective" was published in the Journal of Social Distress and the Homeless in January 1998.
