Yoga Teacher
One of the greatest joys in my life was teaching yoga at the TriYoga Center in Santa Cruz. This is the style I learned at Spa Fitness where I went to yoga for the first time in 1989. It wasn't until I retired as a paralegal that I found the TriYoga Center, a hidden jewel of a sanctuary in one of the older neighbor-hoods behind the Pacific Garden Mall.
I taught TriYoga Basics and Level 1 at SCTYC from 2010-2017. I also taught classes at Corralitos Cultural Center, Live Oak Senior Center, New Brighton Middle School, Twin Lotus Center and Watsonville Community Hospital.
I am CURRENTLY teaching at the Weed Community Center, 161 East Lincoln Avenue, Weed. I was a student and substitute teacher here for several years before I took over leading the class in May of 2023. Classes are from 8:30am-9:30am Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
It's a TRIYOGA BASICS class of mainly seniors, but anyone can come. Fees are set by WCC and are very reasonable! Members are free; nonmembers pay a $5 drop-in fee or can buy a punch card (5 for $20; 10 for $35). Many people qualify for free membership on their health insurance or through their employer. Check with Elena or Nancy in the office if you have questions about fees or membership. Phone: (530) 938-4685

TRIYOGA BASICS (earth, water, fire, air and space) is the perfect level for beginners, seniors and/or anyone who wants a gentle, simple style of yoga with a flowing peaceful style. This slow, graceful practice will feed your soul like a dance of energy within. To me, it is a feminine style of yoga. It offers the same benefits of balance, flexibility and strength as other traditional, more athletic styles.
Each class offers breathing instruction (prana vidya), yoga postures (asanas), flow from one pose to another (kriya) and relaxation (yoga nidra) after the asanas to integrate the benefits to body, mind and spirit. You can expect a more vibrant life force; a healthier, stronger body; increased awareness of Self; better intuition; inner calm; easier relaxation; better sleep; and yes, even bliss!
