I started practicing Yoga more than fifteen years ago. I am a Yoga
mutt, having consistently practiced a variety of Yoga styles. I’ve
gone through phases of dedicating myself to different Yoga posture
sequences and philosophies such as Ashtanga, Bikram, Jivamukti and
Kripalu. I have always been open to learning from all schools of Yoga.
Burlington, Vermont happens to offer incredible Yoga instruction in
most types of Yoga. I am eternally grateful for all of the Yoga
training I have received from many great Yoga teachers in the area.
My own recovery from multiple injuries has taught me to slow down and
to be aware of which parts of my body I use how much. I have learned
when to omit or change certain Yoga postures when my body tells me it is
necessary. I am also an advocate of minimal weight training. I think
if you take a little time focusing on getting muscles around certain
joints stronger it benefits your Yoga practice nicely; the therapy that
has benefitted me the most without any doubt is Yoga.
At the end of 2006 I decided I wanted to share the joy and therapy I
had learned through Yoga asana practice and ancient texts. I enrolled
in the Yoga Vermont teacher training program in March 2007, and began
teaching at Yoga Vermont in the fall of 2007.
I have been a public school Spanish teacher for twelve years. As Yoga
has grown on, and in me, it has become an integral part of the teaching
in all of my Spanish classes to first through fifth grade students.
The kids love it! When I decided to teach Yoga to adults, I decided
that, much in the way that Yoga is part of my Spanish teaching, that
Spanish become part of my Yoga teaching delivery. Spanish + Yoga =
¡Yoga Caliente!
¡Yoga Caliente! (Hot Yoga!) is a mixture of all the Yoga styles I have
seriously practiced with my passion for the Spanish language. It is a
vigorous and fun practice in a warm studio. My Yoga instruction is
delivered with frequent and consistent instructions in Spanish and
English. It’s about using language to help focus on the present,
breathing, listening to your body and warming up within. ¡Yoga Caliente!
