Dana Darr
Dana Darr is the only instructor in Valparaiso who has studied
exclusively within the Iyengar system for fifteen years. She continues regular training with Manouso Manos, the most senior Iyengar teacher in the
country, as well as Sri HS Arun of Banglore (affectionately known as "The ChairMaster"). She 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. Don't be fooled by the tough demeanor, she cares deeply about all of her students!
Marge LaMothe
Marge
LaMothe has been
practicing yoga for over forty years and is easily the most
accomplished yogi in in the area, if not the state of Indiana. 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 twenty years as well as with 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!
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 with vigor . 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 Mixed level classes AND offers Yoga in the Park during the summer months. Not content with that, she also is a certified Doga instructor; that's right, you can do yoga with your dog! In fact, if your dog can do yoga, shouldn't you be doing it yourself?!
Katie Ogg
Katie Ogg has been teaching in
Valpo since 1999. She studied with Marsha Wenig and then Pablo
Jimenez before becoming a certified hatha yoga teacher through the
Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago. Katie teaches hatha yoga in a
fun, flowing style... sometimes quite challenging, but always with emphasis
on breath and inner awareness. She and her students agree - early
morning yoga is a great way to start the day! Come on in and find out why Flow Yoga will work for you, too.
