Styles: I love many styles of yoga and have taught children, adults, and seniors. The yoga that speaks to me most strongly is heart centered, slow, deep, gentile, relaxing yoga which focuses on the breath and mindful movement to recharge the energy of the body, still the mind, and awaken the soul. I have been doing yoga on and off for 20 years and love learning more all the time.

Focus: Cultivating joy, inner, and outer peace, gratitude, balance, and awareness helps us all to relax, replenish, and renew ourselves more fully.

Heartbeat: Yoga has been an enormous blessing in my life and has made me a more mindful person, a calmer parent, and a more playful, free spirit. Yoga is our gift to ourselves, our families, and the world.

Blessing: Let us savor life in all its richness, complexity, and simplicity. Let us all have compassion for each other to create peace and a kinder world.

Namaskaras: Embrace love not fear in every moment. Every choice is about either love or fear. I thank all my teachers, my son, and my late husband for guiding me.
