In 1998 I closed the business chapter of my life and moved from Texas to Los Angeles, California.  I took my first Iyengar Yoga class and quickly attained the physical, emotional, and mental balance in my life after a dramatic change through my yoga practice.  After 10 years of a daily practice, I enrolled in the Teaching in Training program at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles.  This is a thorough training in the teaching of asana and pranayama.  It also included modifications for injury and illness; ayurveda; understanding the systems, skeletal structure, and muscles of the body; and a host of issues that would arise on the mat and off the mat.  I have since passed certification assessments at Introductory I and II levels to become a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher.  Teaching is my passion and reward.  I am humbled by the students as they arrive on the mat as a closed lotus bud and with dedication and practice blossom.
