I opened TRILLIUMYOGA STUDIO in May of 2006, with the intention of providing a safe and comfortable environment where students can strengthen their bodies, relax their minds, explore their emotions, and open their spirits, helping them to fully experience every moment of their life.

I am a certified YogaMotion instructor and recently completed my second 200 hour certification with Tias Little at Prajna Yoga in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had the opportunity to assist Tias at the Yoga Journal Grand Geneva Conference in 2009 and continue to study with him on a regular basis. Both of these trainings provided a deep foundational study of yoga posture, philosophy, anatomy, and meditation that is the basis for my classes.

In December of 2007, I completed my yoga therapy certification ( 500 hours), with Joseph and Lillian LePage of Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT). The theory and practice of yoga therapy is a remembering of our wholeness through posture, body scanning, meditation, relaxation, and my specialty, mudras or gestures of the hands. As a yoga therapist, I work with individuals and groups, helping clients look past their diagnosis and symptoms, by learning to release stress and open to relaxation, acceptance, and balance in their lives.

From a personal perspective, I came to understand the power of yoga to heal as a young college student, struggling alone in the depths of an eating disorder that was largely unrecognized back in the 70s. Yoga helped me to reclaim the body I was unable to see in the mirror, to quiet the mind that confused my behavior, and recover the peaceful spirit that held me as I practiced.

When people ask me what “kind” of yoga I teach, I always answer that my style of yoga can’t be put in a box. I teach a combination of elements from many different schools of yoga. Yoga is more than an exercise routine. It is a road to self knowledge, understanding, and acceptance. And why TRILLIUMYOGA? A trillium is a 3 petal flower that blooms in the early spring forest floor. The 3 petals represent the three energies that come together in a complete yoga practice.

 Body-Mind-Spirit     Breath-Movement-Awareness     Physical-Mental-Spiritual

The blending of these three elements is what makes the practice of yoga so powerful as a tool for remembering wholeness.
