INSTRUCTORS
Dana Darr
Dana
Darr is the only instructor in Valparaiso who has studied exclusively
within the Iyengar system for over ten years. She continues
her
training with Manouso Manos, the most senior Iyengar teacher in the
country, and has recently returned from studying with the Iyengars at
the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India.
She
is grateful to her first teacher, Pablo Jimenez, for introducing her to
this most challenging gift and to Marge LaMothe for continuing to
encourage her. Dana's knowledge and excellent humor help her lead
students through well-balanced, challenging and meaningful yoga classes.
Marge LaMothe
Marge
LaMothe has been
practicing yoga for over thirty years and is easily the most
accomplished yogin in the area. After flirting briefly with the Bikram
method of yoga, she was introduced to Iyengar system through Chicago's
Judy Landecker and never looked back. Marge has studied regularly with
Manouso Manos for over ten years as well as many other Senior Iyengar
instructors. Well-stuctured, methodical and undaunted in her
instruction, she not only teaches, but also brings her students true
understanding of the essence of yoga. An opportunity to study with
Marge should never be missed!
Heather Crews
Heather
Crews began
practicing yoga in 2000 and studied
with various teachers in Northwest and Central Indiana. After
becoming a student at Asana Yoga Center in November of 2005, she spent
several months in 2006 completing a (not so easy) Teacher’s
Training with Dana Darr. Heather enjoys the focus and
intensity of the Iyengar style. Her classes are gentler in
nature and tend to center on sequences that offer a therapeutic
focus. Heather has a deep interest in prenatal/postnatal yoga
and yoga for children. Her knowledge of postures, hands-on
approach, and passion for teaching others has allowed her to develop a
friendly, caring relationship with students.
Lori Estadt
Lori
discovered yoga when
she was pregnant with her son in
2007. She was looking for a way to remain calm and stay at peace during
a wonderful time in her life. She then decided to continue her yoga
practice after pregant. Lori received her 200 hour Yoga Instructor
certification in Hatha Flow from the Center of Health and Healing in
Toms River NJ in 2009 and Prenatal Cetification from Global Yoga in
Chicago. Lori feels that yoga is a wonderful experience that can be
shared with everyone. Lori teaches baby and me, gentle, beginner and
mix level classes.
Katie Ogg
I have
known Katie for as
long as I have been doing yoga. In
fact, I believe she and I were Pablo's only students waaaaay back when
we first started in the nineties. She is an excellent instructor, calm,
caring and creative. I know you are going to love her!
