The use of the breath and the attentiveness to the present moment while practicing brought increased depth to her meditation practice and provided a welcome respite from an all too busy life working on the Hill and tending to the needs of her family. She completed her teacher training with Frances Stahnke at Sacred Well Yoga Studio in 2009, and has been a regular student at Dream Yoga. A life-time learner, she has also studied with Erich Schiffmann, Kripalu’s Rudy Peirce (completing her Gentle Dynamic Yoga certification), Baxter Bell, M.D., and Amy Weintraub. From these master teachers and others, she learned the importance of alignment, of breath, of listening to one’s body, accepting it and being grateful for all it can do, whether or not handstand is ever achieved. After all, she says, “It’s all practice.” She invites practice with laughter and compassion, “so we can be more fully alive.” As Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is more to life than increasing its speed.”
