Most of my classes were the basic integral yoga, one was chair yoga which I started teaching after the Stress Management TT. I also did some self study in Yin yoga and taught two yin yoga classes weekly. At the end of my classes, I always did a reading from The Golden Present, which the students loved.

The majority of my classes are integral yoga. I have also taught chair yoga, gentle yoga flow and yin yoga. Most of my classes, if not the basic integral yoga, follow the format of the basic integral yoga. I also include readings at the end of all my classes from The Golden Present or one of Sri Swami Satchidananda's other books. The students seem to love the spiritual, emotional, physical and and restorative element of the class which leave them feeling joyful and peaceful.

I have also given some yoga workshops and have experience leading groups between 10-20 people, which is great experience in presenting information from small to mid-size groups. | |||||||||

It is always great to have alternative and integrative approaches and choices that may be complimentary for a patient's needs. | |||||||||
| Please describe your studies and understanding of yoga philosophy. | I have just completed the RYTT which was extraordinary! I loved learning about and being and integrating the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali into my life. The 8 Limbs of yoga are both brilliant and practical and I realize that when we live our life utilizing this philosophy, we can put an end to our suffering and experience our divine nature.

In practicing Raja yoga, we truly have the opportunity to live a life that is easeful, peaceful, and useful and that is very exciting! | |||||||||

The program offers a path in which I can be useful, purposeful, express my passion and make a difference. | |||||||||
| How do you intend to use yoga therapy in your practice, both personally and professionally? | I would apply it first and foremost it in every area of my life.

| Given your current or future commitments, how will you create the time and space to achieve your goals for the IYTh program and fulfill all of the training requirements? | I would make the time needed for the IYTh program a priority and would take on only what I can handle.
