I started Fire Horse Yoga in 2005 after graduating from Wilmington Yoga Center's 200 hour Yoga Teacher
Training (
www.wilmingtonyogacenter.com ) and began teaching in my local community here in NC. I wanted to share the gifts of health, wellness,
and inner peace that Yoga offers to the people in my area. The nearest Yoga center is 40 miles away and knowing
that people are most likely to continue a wellness program within 10 miles of their home, I wanted to be accessible to as
many people as I could.
Since then, I have continued my training and now have a 500 hour
Professional Yoga
Therapist (PYT) certification from Integrative Yoga Therapy
www.iytyogatherapy.com and certifications in
Yoga for Seniors and
Yoga Therapy for Seniors from Duke Integrative Medicine
www.dukeintegrativemedicine.org I have most recently increased my dedication to the study and teaching of Yoga by opening a downtown studio
space for Yoga, art, and books called
Earth Element. My intention is to
make the many aspects of the practice of Yoga accessible to anyone who wants to see for themselves what Yoga is
all about and what it can do for them. Although I do charge for my classes, it is not prohibitive, and anyone who wants to
learn the practice of Yoga is encouraged to come and explore. My business partner, Donna, and I are also offering Pilates classes
and upcoming workshops in back care, partner Yoga, restorative Yoga, and Senior Yoga. There are scholarships for those who
want to learn and cannot afford the fee, and the first class is free to new students.
in service and gratitude
