Realizing her study of yoga had become the focus of her life; she completed the 200-hour yoga teacher-training program at Yoga Haven in 2004. She is a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance and received her Prenatal Teacher Certification from Janice Clairfield in June of 2005. Debi is currently studying with Shiva Rea and working on Shiva's 500-Hour Prana Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training Program.
Debi's teaching is influenced by her studies with Shiva Rea- emphasizing fluid movement and vinyasa flow, building strength in the body while maintaining flexibility and strength of mind and spirit. Debi knows the importance of harmony and balance in life and provides a comfortable yet challenging environment in all her classes.
Her teaching's follow the wisdom of one of her earliest teachers knowing "Yoga is not about what you can do. Yoga is about what you can't do and how you deal with it."
