About Living Room Yoga
Living Room Yoga, opened in
2005, is located off the beaten path in a serene home studio in Montague
Center, MA. The studio evolved from my personal interest in learning more about
the classic philosophy of yoga as I began to feel the changes that accompany
middle age. I explored yoga as a purely physical practice when I was young
dancer and actor, though my interests shifted as my husband and I built a
house, careers, and family. Once in my fifties I felt a strong need to return
to yoga to help figure out how to live the rest of my life. Benefits of yoga
are not only the popularly touted health goals such as, weight loss,
flexibility and muscle toning, but also the more intentional aspects of
connecting to one’s spiritual or soulful part of life. The beauty of each yoga
experience is the foundation of peaceful acceptance of who we are, at this
moment. Yoga traditions have developed over thousands of years, and most
contemporary issues that cause us psychological, emotional, or physical
discomfort or distress have already been systematically analyzed and solved
within the yogic pantheon. My intention in each individual session or class is
to provide the guidance for you to find the inner sanctuary that is the promise
of yoga. My teaching methods are deeply influenced by Arden Pierce, Mukunda
Stiles, Margaret Jasinski, Joy Ravelli, personal practice, continuing
education, and the experience of Structural Integration (Rolfing).
I have a 500-hour Purusha
Yoga teacher certification with an emphasis on yoga therapeutics, and am
registered with The Yoga Alliance. Thematic workshops are offered throughout
the year at Living Room Yoga and include Resolutions, Yoga for Creativity, and
Raja Yoga Inquiry. I also design and provide workshops for specific populations
including the MS Society, Birch Tree Center for Health Care Transformation,
Community Action, and MassHousing.
