She has studied extensively with Nischala Joy Devi, and completed her “Yoga of the Heart” intensive training to become certified to work with cancer and heart disease patients.

Practicing and teaching Ashtanga method is one of Debbie’s passions, however back issues combined with beating breast cancer three times required her to seek additional healing modalities of Yoga. She has studied with highly respected Yoga Therapists: Larry Payne, Brian Dorfman and Master Anatomy Teacher Leslie Kaminoff to learn how to incorporate their beneficial, anatomical and safe techniques into her teaching and personal practice. Debbie’s Yoga Tune Up* training with the renowned Jill Miller has been essential in rounding out her teaching style.

No matter what style of class she is teaching, Hatha, Gentle, YTU*, Vinyasa Flow or Ashtanga, Debbie’s classes focus on balance & harmony within the physical body, creating a foundation for the same effect on the mental and emotional body…and most importantly to be light & joyful on and off the mat.
