Yoga for Springfield

Last week I received a phone call from a person interested in yoga. He informed me, "Well, I've been in Springfield for a while now, and have been thinking about moving out, perhaps to Amherst or Northampton. The other day I saw your yoga studio sign and I thought, gee, maybe Springfield IS changing. Maybe I'm supposed to stay in Springfield and give it a shot."

My calling to teach yoga and my move to Springfield occurred simultaneously one short year ago. Since then, I have found that the two go hand in hand. Not only do I believe in yoga to heal and empower people, I believe that a yoga studio brings this city one step closer to the vibrant urban destination that it is meant to be.
