Instructors
Debbie Corradino is originally from Boulder, Colorado and has studied with many teachers in various countries including 4 years with Richard Freeman which is a world renowned ashtanga teacher.
Debbie first came to yoga in 1994 as a means to unwind from an active lifestyle. An avid skier and mountain biker, she was fulfilled by the physically challenging practice of Ashtanga yoga and this was her primary practice for many years.
Over the years as her yoga practice began to evolve, she began to yearn for different approaches to asana. She has been inspired by the inner-body, exploratory approach to yoga of Barbara Benagh; and the Hatha Yoga and Pranayama teachings of Emil Wendel and Clive Sheridan.
Which has ultimately led her to develop a
slower, contemplative approach to her own daily practice and teaching which is grounded in structure and alignment with an
emphasis on breath awareness. Nowadays her approach is more gentle than ashtanga, and she brings in a nice fun atmosphere into her classes.
The classes are
fun and challenging with modifications to suit all abilities and body types.
The classes include elements of vinyasa, alignment, breathwork and meditative awareness.
Debbie believes that a willingness to trust in the practice, allowing what emerges from a natural curiosity and patient inquiry is where we find true yoga.
"Yoga is ultimately about freedom, allowing for the freedom to change your point of view, and move beyond old patterns in the body and mind" - Debbie
