About Peggy:

Yoga philosophy gives me a map that guided me to navigate through our myriad of circumstances, to recover, gain wisdom and compassion. This inner compass gave me the capacity to love more deeply, which is the greatest joy of being human!

My students discovered through the physical practice of yoga the body was prepared to be a vessel of wisdom. We access a deeper state of relaxation, a sense of presence and an enduring connection to our essential nature..

I first discovered yoga in 1979 at the tender age of 15. Nothing really made sense to my hormonally charged adoloscent self, but yoga felt real.

When my life veered off into low self esteem, drugs and alcohol, yoga guided me to a path where happiness actually seemed attainable. WIth a deep thirst to learn more I dreamt of going to India. By the time I was 30, I found myself in that crazy and beautiful land and I adopted the Ashtanga Vinyasa system of BNS Iyengar into my daily practice. Later my body resonated more with Anusara yoga, it’s therapeutic alignment and it’s philosophical teachings of Kashmir Shaivism.

IAYT Yoga Therapist

After teaching for almost 25 years, I decided to earn a certificate in Yoga Therapy in an 800 hour program with Sarahjoy Marsh, a teacher I have always loved and admired. I am now accredited with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. The approach I take with yoga therapy is to bring the healing aspects of yoga to all the layers of your being, your physical, emotional, energetic and mental so that you can access your innate wisdom and joy. I bring in the ancient philosophy of yoga combined with modern science and psychology to clarify a deeper and compassionate connection to self, purpose, joy and inner sovereignty.
