My yoga path began in 1971 with a local class in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The yoga practice took hold, and throughout the seventies and eighties, I continued practicing while raising a family and cultivating a life rooted in simple, healthy living. By the early 1990s, I entered the teaching profession, first as a substitute and then through formal training. I studied extensively with John Friend and became a Certified Anusara teacher in 1999, later adding studies in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and Yoga and Ayurveda. I have continued to learn from many gifted teachers and to share yoga through local classes, playshops, school programs, and retreats.
