About Body & Soul Yoga
My biography
I come from a very traditional background. My career has been vastly divergent from a career as a bank manager to one as a clinical psychotherapist. I began taking yoga classes in my early 50’s and it wasn’t long before I was sharing its many benefits with my therapy clients. It soon became clear to me that I wanted to teach yoga. I trained with Patricia Brown from Rolling Meadows, Brooks, Maine in 2001 and ’02. Since that time I have participated in numerous classes and trainings with Patricia and other yoga teachers throughout New England.
I began teaching yoga in 2002 in the greater Brunswick, Maine area. I am now retired from clinical work and teach several yoga classes a week in Harpswell, Maine where I live with my husband Sam and our black cat Kiki. Harpswell is a beautiful town spread across many islands and peninsulas that jut out into Middle Bay, providing breathtaking views of water and islands. On our plot of earth, we are surrounded by woods and gardens and the smell of the salt sea air.
Besides Sam, my greatest loves are my children and grandchildren, yoga and meditation, teaching yoga, gardening in summer, quilting in winter, long walks in nature, choral singing, reading and writing, kayaking at our lake retreat in central Maine, and the company of dear friends and family. It is a wonderful life!
