My mission is to help you discover the potential inside of you no matter what conditions you may have been born with and/or developed/acquired in your life -  through Yoga!  Love reading, learning, sharing and helping others.

Alternative Healing modalities, such as, Reiki, Essential Oils, herbs, plant medicine, homeopathy, and naturopathic medicine have opened a whole new world for me. I have finally appreciate the concoctions my grandmother used to make.  Way back, I thought...yeah, it helps but I rather take a 'Pill'!  Felt it was too much work, today I know better!

Don't get me wrong, I believe in our Western medicine and know that there are times that we should go and get a diagnosis and/or treatment, we do need our Doctors!

Yoga came into my life in my 50's. I was born with Arnold-Chiari Malformation with Syringo Myelia.  In some circles, they call us "zipper heads".    (Click here for more info)

In my 20's and 30's did a little yoga, but never took it seriously, too involved with my life, family, work, etc.!  I was not ready to 'OM"

However, after the Arnold-Chiari surgery and recovering but still searching for something other than pain pills, during one of my follow-up visits to one of my doctors, he told me that I had to accept my condition, that I would never be able to work full-time, or do the things I used to do when I was in my 20's, 30's and early 40's...he said, if I did not take the prescription pain pills I would not be able to cope and that most likely I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 55!  Well that upset me!  I did not accept that!

I went home made a pot of coffee and prayed.  At that time I still received The Orlando Sentinel and, lo and behold, it was a Wednesday and the Community Section had the Yoga Classes being held at the Casselberry Senior Center listed.  At that point I decided that I would once again try Yoga!  Called my neurosurgeon, God Bless him!  Christopher J. Baker,MD, asked him if I could do Yoga, he paused, sort of didn't think it was a really good idea, etc., etc.  So I said, "it's at the Senior Center, for God's sake, how hard can it be?"  he paused, said "okay, try it but be very careful".  I agreed, best thing that man said to me!  And, of course, God put the right teachers in my path!

I found two amazing teachers!  One, Carol Hendersen, who has transitioned since then, she was the teacher at Casselberry.  After a couple of years, she encouraged me, to teach and mentored me in Kundalini yoga!  Several months after I started with Carol, as I got stronger,  I met Rev. Donna Conley, another amazing yoga teacher, who is still doing yoga at 85 years young!   After Carol transitioned, Rev. Conley became my mentor, teacher and guide!

She kept after me to become a teacher and referred me to Edely Wallace so that I could obtain my certification from because Edely had overcome a health condition that would have left her paralyzed through Yoga!  Am so glad I listened to both these beautiful women!

Finished my 200 hrs of yoga teacher training April 2006 with Edely Wallace, at the YogaMatrix Studio in the Dr. Phillips area of Orlando, Florida.  Since then have taken various classes with Edely, Laughter Yoga, Chair Yoga and various other workshops.  Last class was for Level I, Lymphatic Yoga.  Will be receiving my Certification October 5, 2018!  Yeah!!!

I am very excited about adding Lymphatic Yoga to my classes and look forward to helping many people.

 I Thank God and the Universe for all of you - to those that have challenged, supported, encouraged, forgiven and loved me, stood by me through thick and thin!

   I am now a 

 

If I did it, I know you can do it too!  I Love teaching others to get to a point they thought they couldn't.  I know how it feels!  

 You too can be a "Warrior"! 

We are approaching the end of the year!  Let's make the most of it!

2018 -  You can still follow your dreams, build relationships, cooperation and more!  You are 'Limitless', you are 'Divine Love', set your sights on what you love to do and go for it!



 To Your Potential

Take a moment and enjoy the meditation below, modify it if you like, create your own special place! 

 

Theme from Silk Road

I invite you to join me focusing on your breath, use your mind and senses, see yourself in your mind's eye, allow a feeling of peace, calmness and knowing to wash over you.  Know that it is all okay.  Inhale slowly and deeply, feel your belly gently expanding out like a small balloon, pause and feel your body expanding outward, then slowly exhale as your balloon deflates and you feel your body relaxing, your belly button going in towards your spine, feel the body sinking into your mat, chair or bed, letting go as you relax more!  Continue to Inhale and Exhale slowly in this manner, relaxing even more with each exhale.

Invite a clear bubble of light to hover over you and then gently see yourself entering the bubble of light.  Seal the bubble of light at the souls of your feet, your "Earth Gate" and at the crown of your head, your "Star Gate".  Now allow your bubble of light to take you on a journey  to wherever it is that you feel safe, relaxed and happy!  Stay as long as you like...when you decide to return, release your bubble of light, know that you can always summon your 'bubble of light' and escape anytime you want.

Namaste
