| Judy discovered yoga many years ago when the gym she belonged to opened a class. She has studied with many teachers over the years and when she began attending classes at Jane’s House, the Dynamic Yoga Method seemed a perfect fit with her idea of what yoga practice should be. Unable to ignore the persistent voice within that urged her to teach, she enrolled in the teacher training program, studying with Robin Buck, Christy Wetzel and Matthew and Holly Krepps. Judy’s teaching style reflects that method as she gently guides her students through movement and stillness so that, through self inquiry, they find joyful steadiness and see themselves in an honest and compassionate way. Her hope is that her students will take what they learn on the mat and carry it into their daily lives. Judy’s nurturing and gentle nature has guided her life - raising her sons along with her husband, teaching preschool and leading a support group for bereaved parents. The serenity and contentment she has found through yoga inspires her to share her passion with others.
