The style of  yoga that I offer is largely in the Viniyoga tradition - a style of yoga developed by T.K.V. Desikachar and presented in his book, The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice. Among his students is Gary Kraftsow, C-IAYT,  founder of the American Viniyoga Institute and author of Yoga for Wellness: Healing with the Timeless Teachings of Viniyoga and Yoga for Transformation: Ancient Teachings and Holistic Practices for Healing Body, Mind, and Heart.  What I find so powerful about this style of yoga is that it's about the therapeutic application of yoga to heal and strengthen body, mind, and spirit.  (Note: Viniyoga is not the same as Vinyasa, though there are some similarities. If you've taken a vinyasa flow class and thought it was too fast, please consider Viniyoga. It's slow, with lots of pauses to feel and notice.) 

The other major influence on my approach to yoga is Kristine Weber, C-IAYT, , founder of Subtle® Yoga. She is a yoga teacher trainer and Yoga Therapist whose focus is to create nervous system resilience.  I study with Kristine on a regular basis.  The slow, mindful yoga that Kristine teaches is based in the Viniyoga tradition, but with other influences as well, such as Qi Gong and Feldenkrais movements.  As noted on her website, Kristine  is "a leading world authority on the neuroscientific benefits of slow, mindful movement and an advocate for the use of these practices as a solution to the healthcare crisis. She is leading the charge to get slow, mindful practices to people who desperately need them through her Subtle® Yoga Revolution series of online courses and trainings for yoga teachers – which have been praised by thousands all over the world.......In March 2019 she was invited to speak to staff and members of the U.S. Congress at Capitol Hill about the potential benefits of yoga therapy in the healthcare system. " 

I have followed and learned from Baxter Bell, MD, C-IAYT for over a decade.   He is well-known for his work in Yoga for Healthy Aging, and he co-wrote a book (with Nina Zolotow) of the same name.   His book and teachings ares  constant references for me, and I've also taken his Yoga for Healthy Aging 2.0 training as well as the course, "Yoga for Cancer: Exploring Self-Care Tools and Healing Pathways."
