Yoga Training in San Francisco

May 3, 2007 at 3:36 PM

I am just beginning a 4-year long certification process to become a Yoga Therapist in the Krishnamacharya Healing Foundation Tradition. This morning it was raining in San Francisco, but every cell in my body was dancing for joy! We are just beginning to learn all that there is to know about how to heal people from all kinds of illness and disease (mental and physical) by using postures, breathing techniques, chanting, ancient yoga philosophy and many other tools.

I feel such gratitude to be able to study with the son and grandson of T. Krishnamacharya (the Grandfather of Modern Yoga and teacher of B.K.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois). In India, a student and a teacher bond for life starting at age 7 and train formally until about age 25. I began studying with the Desikachars in 2001 in Chennai, India when I was 29 years old and I continue to gain knowledge and experience in my practice through the certification process. I can't wait to share this intense experience with you and look forward to bringing all that I learn back to our sessions at Spa of the Pines.

I will write more in a day or two! Send me your comments-I’ll respond right away.

Warmly- Amy
