Deborah started practicing yoga 14 years ago when she was experiencing pain and stress in her body. She quickly realized the many benefits of yoga and how it kept her body and mind healthy and strong. Wanting to share these benefits with others, she entered a 500 hour teacher training with Gary Kraftsow for 2 years and then opened her own studio in Lanai, Hawaii. Wanting to go deeper into the teachings of yoga to help her students with specific body and health imbalances, she entered a 500 hour yoga therapist training with Gary Kraftsow for another 2 years. Deborah has also had the privilege to study with Shiva Rea, Rod Stryker, Sara Powers, Judith Hanson Lasater, and Desiree Rumbaugh. Deborah’s specializes in creating a practice to fit a practitioner’s unique needs and understands that one practice does not fit all. Her passion is empowering others in self-care by listening to their bodies and believes that yoga is a healing system that can be practiced at all ages, with injuries, physiological imbalances, and emotional stress to create wellness, a sense of deep peace, personal transformation, and joy.
