What do you love about teaching?
What I love about teaching parallels what I love about practicing. Even after 20 years, I am continually amazed that every day on my mat can feel so different. My primary goal as a teacher is to help students find a similar open-minded curiosity about their own unique bodies and experiences.
What yoga trainings have you completed?
