About

I am a 200 Hr Holden Tier 1 Qigong Instructor and a student of Spring Forest Qigong. This training has enhanced the solid foundation in mind/body instruction I've gained over the past 25 years from the Temple of Kriya yoga, the Center for Integrative Yoga Studies,  the School of Pranakriya Yoga, Healthy Arts Physical Therapy, and Yoga for Healthy Aging with Baxter Bell, MD. Additional study of Mindful Awareness with Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield has enriched my sense of gratitude, open-heartedness, and well-being.  The loss of loved ones and a diagnosis of breast cancer during the Covid pandemic prompted me to further my commitment to preventative health practices.  I discovered the healing possibilities of qigong and saw how this meditative flowing movement practice could enrich the foundation I had built with yoga,  supporting wellness in mind and body.  Qigong deeply supports my passion for spending creative time in nature and helps me to connect more deeply to the web of Life to which we all belong..
