Philosophy: I believe that yoga is for everyone at every age and ability. I strongly urge participants to modify and adapt each posture to suit their needs and abilities. Postures are not intended to be one size fits all. Just like an expensive suit or dress, postures should be tailored to your unique specifications. From the name of my studio, you can conclude that I am a dog lover, especially Dachshunds. My philosophy of life is the be the person that my dog believes I am. 

Fun Facts: I have 5 dogs! Three chow chows and two miniature dachshunds live with me. I am a retired mathematics and biology teacher. I have had two hip replacements in the past four years and have recovered 100% through my yoga practice. I used to participate in competitive pistol competitions and actually had my photo on the cover of a Women and Guns magazine. My husband is a writer in the gun industry and kidded that we should open a yoga studio/gun business called "Guns and Poses."
