What does it mean to be a yoga teacher? This is the question I asked myself when I first seriously considered attending a teacher training. What I discovered was the opportunity to participate in a process of learning, where both the student and the teacher engage one another and discover what is possible. This excites me! What does this mean to you? You will attend a class that is full of encouragement and will offer a practice that enhances every aspect of your life.

My experience with yoga began 6 years ago in Atlanta. It was preceded by a numerous other activities, such as distance running, competitive golf, and plenty of long days spent challenging my body in different arenas. Those years of practice and competition gave me a strong foundation and provided a firm understanding of what it means to place specific demands on the body, leading to positive results. So, why yoga? Simple: yoga offers more benefits and balance to the rest of my life than any other activity I have participated in. It just fits!

In 2006, I completed an 840-hour training in massage therapy at ASHA School of Massage in Atlanta, GA. The program offered a strong foundation in anatomy & physiology, and nutrition. I enjoyed the experience, yet the idea of going a step further toward yoga was very appealing.

This past spring I attended The White Lotus Foundation’s intensive 16-day Teacher Training, located in Santa Barbara, CA. White Lotus teaches a non-dogmatic approach to Hatha Yoga. They provide the fundamentals for a safe and effective practice, for a lifetime of enjoyment and healthy living. This training offered the starting point for a teaching career. Currently, I am finishing my 200-hour level certification thru the continuing education requirements set forth by White Lotus.

The possibility of feeling lighter, happier, and healthier is available to you. This practice is about removing ourselves from the ordinary and moving toward the extraordinary. Come participate in a class and see what we can discover…
