 I am a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher,
completing a 200 hour in-residence course in August 1999 at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts, the largest Yoga
 center in the United States, a non-profit organization, and a Yoga Alliance Registered School. Yoga Teachers who are certified with a Yoga Alliance Registered School have graduated with Yoga Teaching Standards recognized by the International Yoga community, ensuring that participants practice safely and mindfully. In keeping with the tradition of Master Yoga Teacher, Krishnamacharya (1888-1989), I firmly believe in honouring each individual's ability. Krishnamacharya spent his life in India, and was a very influential teacher of current, famous Yoga teachers. His teaching has influenced Yoga worldwide.

 In September 1999, I began teaching General Yoga classes in Kingston, Ontario, (where I lived at the time), at a local Municipal Community Centre, C.F.B. Kingston Family Resource Centre and the Kingston Family YMCA. Classes were consistently well received and I expanded the number of classes each term.
In September 2000, I began to teach Yoga to elite and professional athletes, and workshops or introductory sessions for businesses and conferences.
No matter what sector of the population I have taught, my classes have continued to be very successful with an informal, light-hearted, challenging and educational approach to Yoga. In 2005, I returned to my hometown, St. John's, NL, after living in Ottawa and Kingston, Ontario for 18 years.
