"During my years of training as a classical musician, I gradually became fascinated with the connection between my mind & body. I began studying yoga in 1996 as a means to facilitate greater physical ease during my music performance career. Little did I know that a decade of dedicated private study would lead to attending teacher training to become a yoga teacher!
The physical ease and mental calmness I found through these practices inevitably led to a desire for a more intense course of study, as well as an eagerness to share the benefits with others. In 2007 & 2008 I attended Integral Yoga Teacher Training through the Integral Yoga Academy in Yogaville, Virginia.
While looking for ways to cope with my own sense of helplessness and fear as I watched my ex-husband struggle with alcoholism and obesity, I found an inner reserve of calm and peace through deepening my yoga practice. Years have passed since transforming my personal life, and I now find myself living with balance & awareness.
Very naturally, as I’ve been a teacher for over 15 years, I wanted to share the practice of yoga with others. Several certifications in Integral Yoga introduced me to the branch of Peaceful Weight Loss™ through Yoga. This amazing practice, founded by Brandt Passalacqua, struck me with its simplicity and effectiveness. I have been honored to become a certified teacher in this practice, and know that sharing these teachings with others is an appropriate way to share the benefits I have received from yoga."
