Yoga gives purpose to my daily life by combining spirituality, exercise, and relaxation, which in turn makes my body healthier, my heart open, and my life simpler.  I believe that by following the lineage and creating a strong community we will essentially carry on the tradition of yoga throughout the world and in turn, have the ability to create peace between people and our environment.  I’ve been handed a gift that has transformed me, one that I practice each day, and now want to share.  My teachers are my greatest source of knowledge, humility, ability, and courage.  In 2006 I traveled to India, where yoga’s roots lie, to study with Guruji, Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, his grandson, Sharath, and his long time student, Nancy Gilgoff. I am blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the teaching staff at Yoga East.
