Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor
San Jose, California
She began studying yoga in 1985, taking various styles with teachers
in California and Japan. In 1992 she took her first Iyengar class and
connected with it so strongly that it changed the course of her life. In
1995 she began the teacher training program at the Iyengar Yoga
Institute of San Francisco, and in 1996 she started holding small
classes in her home. After graduating from the Institute, Denise set her
sights on becoming a certified Iyengar instructor. Comprehensive
training came to successful fruition after two rigorous certification
examinations in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Denise returned to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 after
teaching in Florida for a year. Most recently her passion has taken her
to India, where she studied with the Iyengar family in February, 2005.
Denise's classes draw faithful students who appreciate her
encouraging spirit and patient instruction. She teaches classes,
workshops and retreats all over the Bay Area and works with students
of all abilities and ages. Her goal is to not only coach people to
greater physical strength and flexibility, but also to guide them toward
a focused center of self-awareness. For that is where all great journeys
begin.
