We are a yoga teacher family!
My Our home studio opened in 2010 and quickly filled with people interested in yoga with a capital "Y". Having practiced yoga for over 40 years, I felt ready to "give back". Our studio has since grown to become a beloved yoga community and we continue to learn and to be in service to those who find their way to one of our offerings. I find each person to be an inspiration and a gift.
Our daughter, Summer, teaches at our home studio in addition to other locations around the Twin Cities. We have co-facilitated many retreats and workshops. Summer is a yoga teacher, dancer, artist, and Spanish interpreter in addition to her major work as Ceramic Art Professor at Macalester College. She has received recognition for excellence in teaching and has been awarded a number of art awards.
My husband, Steve, is also a yoga teacher. He supports our yoga teacher family in every way; from classes, to workshops, to retreats. After retiring from Delta where he worked as an agent, he now serves as the neighborhood handyman and teaches yoga. He is an avid gardener and an excellent cook.
Our son, Zac, also a Kripalu yoga teacher, spent one year as an intern at the Kripalu School of Yoga in Massachusetts, then spent 5 years in New York City before relocating to Los Angeles where he works in the service industry and makes music, his lifelong passion.
David Lacey, my son-in-law, is also a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. He is a designer and brings his expertise to retreats, in addition to other offerings.
