Yana Yoga

The first time I stepped onto a yoga mat over 25 years ago, I walked out of class after about 10 minutes. I was bored. I wasn't aware that there were different types of yoga and gentle yoga wasn't the one for me at the time. It took me seven years to step on a mat again, but when I did it felt like home. After that, I practiced and took classes when I could and I often visited Kripalu a couple times a year. During a visit I noticed that every time I passed by the catalog display a little voice inside me would say "yoga teacher training". I ignored it. But every time I went back to Kripalu, it got louder. Finally, in January of 2007, I listened and started looking for a training program that suited my needs. I completed my yoga teacher training in April of 2007 and became a RYT, Registered Yoga Teacher. I now have over 5,500 hours of teaching experience including regular yoga classes, specialty workshops, yoga for the workplace/office, yoga for athletes, and yoga teacher trainings (helping people deepen their practice and/or become yoga teachers).
