Yoga has weaved it’s way in and out of my life since I was 5 years old. My father taught me yoga! He learned yoga while living in France during the 1950s. I loved the inversions, particularly shoulder and headstands. Those asanas were playful cross training for my favorite sport, synchronized swimming. I currently teach yoga at two non-profits - the Orange County YMCA and the Merage JCC. I also teach both online and in person for corporate clients.
