FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I regularly study with a teacher who is more advanced than I am and I regularly take workshops to improve my teaching skills for specific needs or for particularly troublesome poses (like backbends or twists)
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Back in 1973, my hair dresser and I were talking and I told him that I do yoga. He thought the hair salon would love to have a class. My first class was in the hair salon with a nutty group of hair dressers. We all had so much fun, I started teaching elsewhere - and a career was started.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Your teacher should be able to show you modifications of poses that enable you to experience success in the pose. He or she should take your fears and concerns seriously. The teacher should be able to spontaneously modify any pose or any sequence to accommodate your needs.
