Gail is an Intermediate certified Iyengar yoga teacher and has been practicing and teaching for over 30 years. She came to the Iyengar method in 1980 to address years of chronic pain due to scoliosis in her spine. She continues her studies with senior teachers in the method to deepen and broaden her understanding. She truly believes this method can offer a life long movement modality to manage and deeply facilitate healing for every type of BODY.

The Iyengar methods use of various props facilitates finding the “essence” of each pose allowing the practice of Yoga to be applicable to all, no matter one’s limitations.

The attention to alignment/skeleton/bones and the use of our musculature to maintain that alignment in any given pose builds and develops strength and flexibility over time.

Kundalini Yoga uses movement, sound current, breath and meditation to relax and heal your mind and body, allowing the spirit to flow freely by opening the pathways of the mind and body to invoke feelings of well-being and happiness. We begin the class by tuning into our highest selves, allowing our inner guidance to lead us deeper within, and open awareness to the body and mind connection. Once connected in, we have a greater ability to move, shift and unblock the energy of the body through movement and breath. This powerful and effective form of Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, is a great way to recharge and heal your body quickly by stimulating the nervous and immune systems, while improving strength and flexibility, as it centers the mind and opens the spirit.  A typical Kundalini Yoga class starts and ends with beautiful and ancient chants to open and calm the heart, proceeding into a carefully planned sequence of postures, movements, breathwork  and meditation that bring about quick and powerful transformation on all levels. From the very first class, students begin to experience results including relief from back pain, stress, addiction, depression and insomnia and weight control. Kundalini Yoga is open to all levels.

Peggy is a certified Iyengar yoga instructor (level 2) and a full professor of dance at Colorado College where she has been on the faculty since 1980.

She fervently believes that yoga is both a "physical" and a "mental" practice, but is confident that the careful attention to alignment typical in Iyengar yoga classes can help many people who live with physical (and emotional) pain. She has studied in India with the Iyengars, and regularly studies with the most senior practitioners of Iyengar yoga in the United States.
