Dancing Mind Yoga

I began taking yoga classes in 1992. I practiced one or two times a week and loved yoga as a method of cross training and injury prevention for my other athletic endeavors of rugby, racquetball, bicycling, running, and weight training. In March of 2009, I took my first Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga class. It was the hardest yoga class I had ever taken, both mentally and physically. I loved the challenge.

I started practicing Baptiste Power yoga more frequently and whole-heartedly. My aches and pains from old injuries began disappearing and I felt stronger and more mobile than I had in years. I am grateful to those who have taught me. And I want to share with others the power and joy of integration of mind, body, and spirit via yoga.

In 2010 I began working towards a yoga teacher certification. I completed DMY Intensive Teacher Training, in February, DMY TAP Program in May, and have completed DMY’s 200HR RYT Teacher Training program in March of 2011 with DMY owner Paula Baake. I have also attended Level I Teacher Training Bootcamp with Mr. Baron Baptiste in June 2010.

It is my hope that in teaching and assisting, I will be able to give to others that which has been shared with me. That is how to have fun and how to deepen one’s practice physically, mentally, and spiritually.
