Y4A is a home-based studio offering in-person classes for up to 4 people & virtual/in-person privates. I began practicing yoga in 2006 after a friend suggested I try it out. I read a book that said I should wait until I could practice every day for 6 months, so I figured out when I could practice daily and started yoga classes on Mother’s Day 2006. After 6 months of daily practice I knew yoga was
the practice for me! I explored multiple traditions along the way, and in 2009 found Iyengar Yoga. I appreciated the way in which sequences were built to create a particular effect, as well as how there was a focus on precision along with an explanation of why it matters. I knew soon that I wanted to become a teacher to help share the benefits of yoga with others. I started teaching in 2012, in 2013 took and passed my first Iyengar assessment, and in 2014 took and passed the second assessment that made me a fully Certified Iyengar yoga teacher (CIYT). Teacher training in the Iyengar tradition is one of the most rigorous and precise trainings for yoga teachers. Trainees are required to have a minimum of three years of practice in the Iyengar tradition, significant training, must be recommended by two senior teachers, and then must pass assessments in front of 3 additional senior teachers. Assessments include written exams, demonstrated practice, and teaching assessment. I continue to take and study higher assessment levels to improve my ability to serve you.
