Kim
Vachon, 200 RYT
Kim was introduced to Ashtanga in 1999 as a busy. single,
working mother. At her first class she discovered that her
mat provided a quiet space to be in the present moment which
was a new concept to her. Love and commitment to the
practice and its tradition immediately followed. Today, Kim
is a mother to three energetic boys; her mat still offers a
place for stillness and the love and commitment continue to
deepen.
Kim has studied with Kimberly Dahlmann since the beginning
and completed a 200 hour RYT Yoga Alliance teacher
certification in 2011 at Yoga East. Kim has also studied
with Shri K. Pattabhi Jois on his 2002 World Tour in Maui
and with Nancy Gilgoff. Kim has been greatly influenced by
Nancy’s presence. She has a deep respect for the lineage and
heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the integrity,
compassion, dedication and understanding & knowledge of the
practice she has witnessed in her teachers.
Kim is honored and humbled to be teaching at Yoga East and
continue the tradition of providing a safe, sacred space
where people can come to learn self acceptance and
peacefulness, to feel strong, to be mindful of intentions
and breathe freely. Yoga offers the opportunity to learn
compassion for ones self; only then can we truly have
compassion for others.
