I began practicing yoga about 20 years ago, first at my local gym and than at Yoga Fitness, an Iyengar Studio in Campbell, CA.  In 2001 I began a year long training with YES (Yoga Educational Seminars) run by Joyce Anue to get certified to teach yoga.  I graduated with a 200 hour certification in 2002 and at that time registered with Yoga Alliance for my 200RYT.  I have taught yoga on and off since that time in the San Jose area in clubs, corporations and fitness centers.  I have studied under a number of different Iyengar teachers including: Linda Bonney Bostrom; Jito Yumibe; Ramanand Patel; Kofi Busia; Elise Miller; Judith Lasater; Joyce Anue; Roger Cole; and Janet MacLeod.

I have been a licensed therapist since 1982.
