Deb took her first yoga class at age 19 and has used it to manage her life at all levels. "It is through the SATYANANDA YOGA® experiences," she says, "especially the Yogic Studies programs, that I have found answers to many of the questions that I had so many years ago."
Deb has had an eclectic job history, including Outdoor Education Counselor, Hotline Counselor, Nurses Aide, and Carpenter. She has studied Aikido, Accupressure Massage, and T'ai Chi. She currently works as an Organizational Facilitator for an afterschool program for middle school children in addition to her retail and teaching duties at the Atma Center. Deb teaches yoga because it is fun and she appreciates the opportunity to pass on these vauable practices to others. "I think of teaching yoga as providing a set of tools that people can use to customize what they need. The first and primary tool is awareness because that leads to self-knowledge."
