I am an E-500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and YACEP with Yoga Alliance. I hold a Level 1 Relax and Renew Instructor certification in restorative yoga from Judith Hanson Lasater, Ayurvedic Yoga Immersion Certification, Warriors at Ease Teacher Certification (Level 2), Yin Yoga Certification and am a certified iRest Level 1 Teacher. With over 23 years federal law enforcement experience, I had the vision for and created specialized yoga curriculum specifically directed toward first responders. Additionally, my expertise as an Advanced Instructor (having certified in excess of 1,250 state/local/federal/international law enforcement officers as instructors) helped me establish and write lesson plans for use during yoga teacher training in the area(s) of: yoga instructor standards, teacher evaluation, principles of adult learning and perception. I recently authored a Restorative Yoga Teacher Manual as well as Instructional System Design curriculum specifically directed toward yoga teachers in the area(s) of: professional conduct, ethics, legal issues/liability, creating effective learning environments, instructional evaluation and student perception.  Additionally, I teach yoga and iRest around the country for various groups with a focus on providing both physical and metal practices for first responders, including military personnel, law enforcement, firefighters and specialized tactical groups.  I provide an introduction to techniques which incorporate functional body movement specifically designed to address repetitive use movements often undertaken by these specialty groups which can lead to injury and breakdown of function due to overuse.
