| Instructor: | Louise Fecher |
| Yoga Style: | Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga |
| Description: | I first learned about yoga in the 1970s, when I was in high school. I came across a yoga program on public television and watched it regularly after school. The instructor offered a simple routine, mostly floor based with mild stretches. I discovered that I was naturally flexible, and became more so with the yoga practice. As an adult, I signed up for yoga classes through The Open Center and other venues in Manhattan. When my husband and I moved to Yonkers in 1998, I was delighted to find a wonderful yoga studio in nearby Tuckahoe. I began taking classes at Yoga Haven, first with Jill Ganassi and then Ann Casapini, both inspiring teachers. |
| In Fall 2004, I signed up for the 200-hour teacher training program developed by Yoga Haven's founder, Betsy Kase. I completed the training in 2005, registered with Yoga Alliance, and began teaching in several locations, including Yoga Haven. | |
| Since then, I've continued my studies though workshops and trainings in Westchester and Manhattan (including day-long intensives with Gary Kraftsow and John Friend). In 2007, I was certified to teach Restorative yoga by Judith Hanson Lasater; that same year I completed a prenatal yoga teaching program taught by Janice Clarfield. In 2009, I began training in advanced Restorative yoga with Judith Lasater at Om Yoga in New York City. | |
| During the past five years, I have taught at yoga studios, senior centers, schools, corporations, and healthcare facilities. I could teach in the middle of a shopping mall if I had to-yoga works anywhere! My students have included seasoned practitioners and novices, eager teenagers, and savvy seniors (both active and sedentary). I enjoy helping my students develop flexibility and strength, but most important, I hope my students leave class feeling relaxed and ready to share a smile. | |
