Summary
Throughout my life, yoga has brought me great joy. Now that I've retired as a College Instructor, I want to share that joy with others. 35 years' teaching experience offered me opportunities to create engaging classes catering to a variety of students from a variety of demographics. My work was officially recognised in a College Teaching Excellence award, and students have commented on my "enthusiastic, creative and inspiring" classes. I love to teach and I love to learn.
