Broga Yoga-50hr Teacher Training I & II
After practicing yoga, on and off, for about 8 years I decided to take a Yoga Teacher Training Class. I completed my 200 hour yoga teachers training, in April 2009, with Michael Stein of Ashtanga Yoga of New Paltz. I have been teaching yoga in New Paltz, Wallkill, Walker Valley, Rosendale, and Stone Ridge since.
I have since put together a gentle Vinyasa flow yoga class, based on the principles of hatha yoga, that is suitable for people who are generally not athletic or have become sedentary due to working in front of a computer or sitting all day. The class will increase strength and flexibility in the body as well as allow the subtle energies contained in the nervous system to flow more freely. It is a gentle but flowing form of yoga that produces an aerobic workout. I call the class – Gentle Flow. This class is much easier on the wrists and back then many other Vinyasa style yoga classes.
Prior to becoming a licensed Broga® Yoga Teacher, I began teaching a men’s only class for a group of guys. I’m really excited to be a member of the Broga® Yoga Teaching community and hope to see you at one of my classes soon.
