    About Virginia

    I've been practicing Yoga for 26 years and teaching in Southwest Florida for 17 years. With regard to the hatha yoga exercises, my teaching emphasis is on the synchronization of movement and breath. I encourage students to move at their own pace and to 'listen' to their bodies. It is my sincere hope that students learn to calm the nervous system and focus the mind while building strength and balance.
