M. Ed., E-RYT 500, YACEP
I started practicing yoga many years ago because of its benefits for the back and neck difficulties she was experiencing, and soon discovered that the benefits were far greater than just addressing my physical well-being. For me, yoga has become an avenue for self-knowledge, self-love, awareness and physical well-being. I has a Masters in Curriculum, with over 20 years in education teaching students and adults, becoming a certified yoga instructor was the perfect choice for me. I studied with Yoga Acharya Tej Monga and Judith Laseter. I received my 200-hour and 500-hour Yoga Alliance Certification through Namah Shivaya Yoga. I have complete 600 hours in Ayurvedic Counseling. Since yoga is very much a personal experience and one based on levels of ability, my endeavor is to teach to the needs of individual students by modifying poses. My classes are designed for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. Each class focuses on proper alignment and breathing techniques, with an emphasis on core body strength. My goal as an instructor is for all of her students to experience the full benefits of yoga.

Scott s yoga studies began in September 1991, when he was seeking a more holistic approach to ending medical issues. His early years were spent under the study of Myna Moon, a long-time follower of Swami Sivananda and Mahavatar Babaji. As his practice increased over the decades, his medical symptoms diminished. He earned his 200 hour yoga teacher training and later both a 500 hour and a 1,000 Master Teacher Training from Namah Shivaya in Dallas and recognized as a Yoga Acharya.Of the three paths to realization, Karma Yoga has been a central part of Scott s life for more than two decades, as he has served in varying roles and responsibilities for several North Texas animal, health and religious organizations, including 14 years as a religious education instructor. He continues to bring accessible and affordable yoga to the Mesquite and Terrell communities and also teaches for the City of Mesquite, Texas, weaving into his classes the philosophical, scientific and spiritual aspects of a yoga practice. Scott continues his yoga studies, and has making a 3 ½-year commitment to the study of Kriya Yoga with Pramahansa Yogananda s Self Realization Fellowship. When he is not teaching yoga, Scott fights heart disease and stroke for the American Heart Association.
