All the while making yoga safe and accessible for anyone and everyone! “

Deborah has been a student of yoga since 1995 and a teacher since 2004. She finds yoga to be a beneficial constant companion through all of life’s twists and turns. Her study has been in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya, who was the teacher of BKS Iyengar and Patabhi Jois, founders of Iyengar and Ashtanga (or Power) yoga styles. She has completed 500-hour teacher training and 1000-hour yoga therapy training in this tradition (known as viniyoga) and teaches not only the asanas (postures) but also breathing, sound, and other meditative techniques from this tradition for a blend of stretching and invigorating flow along with the focus that makes yoga different from gymnastics, dance and other forms of movement.
Besides yoga, Deborah is also a licensed massage therapist practicing since 1991 and has extensively studied Asian bodywork, including acupressure, shiatsu, sotai, aromapoint therapy, and cupping and offers those services at Kindred Spirits, too. There are many paths to well-being!
