Teachers I Love

The Pandemic silver lining is being able to experience teachers from around the world. Here is a short list of inspirational teachers (currently available on Zoom) who bring a class to life with themes and inspiration. It is by no means complete! If you know of someone who excels in this aspect of teaching yoga, please email me.

Sue Elkind, Dig Yoga, Lambertville, New Jersey

Sue brings myths and modern-day inspiration to life in her stunningly beautiful classes at Dig Yoga. Her husband, Naime Jezzeny, is a world-renowned teacher of advanced asana. Give them a try.

Julie Dorhman, Shakti Yoga, Brooklyn, New York

Julie brings classical myths from the Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita and other resources to life on Zoom and in local studios in the New York area. Her themes are brilliantly weaved through a class, seamlessly blending motivation with perspiration.

Angie Kennedy, The Silhouette Yogi, Denver, Colorado

Angie never ceases to amaze me, move me and leave me in wonderment. I featured one of her themes in Theme Weaver, A Companion Workbook. Check her out if you want to be moved spiritually and physically.

Christina Sell, Live the Light of Yoga, Bellingham, Washington

Christina is one of my teachers and I finished my 300-hour YTT with her. She is also a fellow yoga author. Her classes focus primarily on alignment, but when she themes, there is no one better. She is powerful and transformational, over and over again.

Desiree Rumbaugh, Desiree Rumbaugh Yoga

Desiree is my writing partner, teacher, friend, and mentor. Her themes touch me in every class. She changed my life many years ago, and continues to do so today. Her superpower is bringing modern-day relevance to the ancient philosophies, and speaking from her heart like nobody can. She is best known for workshops, but she is migrating to Zoom with weekly offerings. Find her now.

Patrick Montgomery, Denver, Colorado

Currently teaching at the Denver Iyengar Yoga Center, Patrick is a lovely teacher incorporating themes that speak from the heart. I am continually inspired by his classes, and seek him out when I’m feeling empty.
