Qualifications: Accredited yoga instructor, certified by Yogaehanya B.K.S. Iyengar (Namamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India).
Personal History: I meditated with Sufi Master Samuel Lewis in San Francisco. Within a few years, I was teaching yoga and, in 1976, met Indian yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar. In 1985, I founded the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Center of Greater Boston.
Workout Philosophy: Consistency is more important than anything else. Even if it's for five minutes a day, practicing builds up a vibration in your body and, if you miss one day, your body misses it. Any amount of yoga daily has a positive effect.
Success Story: A new yoga beginner wrote me and said that yoga has changed her life for the better. She could barely move before she did my video, Yoga Practice for Beginners. She started with about 5 minutes a day and gradually worked her way up to a full workout regime. She has learned to empower herself.
