MEDITATION/STRESS MANAGEMENT

Graduate of the 18 month, Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. I began meditation in the early 90's. Since 2001, I have engaged in over five months of intensive silent, residential meditation practice. Some of my Western teachers include Myoshin Kelley and Joseph Goldstein. I also have practiced under the guidance of Chanmay Sayadaw and Sayadaw U Pandita, for four and six weeks respectively, both are highly respected Burmese monks and meditation masters. Most of this practice takes place at the Forest Refuge at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA.

My last year working in an academic setting, I served as the Wellness Coordinator at a community college, in NY state. I designed and taught yoga and stress management workshops for faculty, staff and students to overwhelmingly positive feedback.

YOGA

For three years, I ran Sattva Yoga & Wellness, a small studio in midtown Manhattan. During that time I was featured in several magazines, including Self, Yoga Journal and Essence. I was a board member of the New York Yoga Teachers Association, and taught at the Graduate Center of City University of N.Y, N.Y.U, NY Sports Clubs, and privately.
