YOGA: Following the traditions of Siddha yoga and B.K.S. Iyengar, I have trained since 1982 in the disciplines of hatha yoga, meditation and yoga philosophy. I bring to my classes extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and yoga principles, along with a keen eye for detail and a developed capacity to sense the needs and potential of students individually and as a group to create lively and fulfilling classes.
