In these decades of devotion to the practice, she\u2019s been a hustling freelancer, a studio owner and now connects with many students online. You\u2019ll find her teaching in-person whenever she can, and she loves putting the online names to in-person faces.\r\nIn her classes, it\u2019s evident that she values understanding more than achievement. You\u2019ll see that she teaches movement skills as a means of doing a yoga pose. A modern understanding of movement does not oppose the philosophical traditions of yoga, rather these two elements combine to create deep self-inquiry.\r\nShe considers herself to be an educator, so her classes are meant to inform and illuminate. Her plank poses will refurbish your upper back, her balance poses will set your glutes aflame. Humor is her secret ingredient for teaching.","subt_text":"The views expressed in this online workshop\/virtual event are those of the participant(s) and do not purport to reflect the policy or position of Yoga Alliance (YA) or the Yoga Alliance Foundation (YAF).
