Yoga saved my life.
I feel extremely lucky to have found yoga, or it found me – in 1978, long before selfies and the internet transformed yoga and astrology into massive industries. I started with asana practice, but yoga grew far beyond that for me. Decades ago I began to delve into the mystical foundations of yoga.
Astrology came to me, circa 1990. Yoga offered my path to wellness, but astrology was how finally I gave myself permission to wander the planet and be my creative, visionary (oh my chart!) self. Much happier.
Several consultants on the Yogastrology® faculty were my mentors. Later, I developed a unique way to read charts – and I launched Yogastrology® trainings in 2011-12. North Americans and Europeans get readings from me, and graduate from my training programs.
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy and served on the Liberal Arts faculty at a private university for several years, concurrent with teaching yoga classes and leading wellness retreats. Interrelations between mind (philosophy and meditation) and body (hatha yoga and health) still astonish me. Certification trainings in yoga include Svaroopa®; Embodyment® Yoga Therapy; Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy®. In the 1990’s I became a Charter Member of Yoga Alliance and was among the first-ever Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers (E-RYT); Continuing Education Providers (YACEP); and Certified Yoga Therapists (CYT).
