Vinyasa Yoga

You will find Bif’s  Vinyasa Yoga style to gracefully connect movement with breath to give you a whole practice.  It is all about finding a balance that sometime needs a heat building intensity to make you move quickly increasing sweat vs. a grounding lunar quality to the practice in order to relax and leave you stress free.  Having anatomically correct cuing and sequencing is very important to her to keep everyone safe.  Teaching yoga is a way for Bif to build community and connect with others on a deeper level.

Yoga and Dance Trainings/Certifications

 Bif has always had a passion for movement.  She started young as a dancer and developed her passion at a boarding arts high school, then continued on to graduate college and dance professionally in Seattle.   She received her Bachelor's in Fine Arts from Cornish College of the Arts.  This love for dance naturally led her into the yoga world 6 years ago where she found the self loving generosity of this style of movement to be more catered to her.  She took her first 200 Hr yoga teacher training from Core Power Yoga.  This past spring, she completed a 200 Hr Integrated Vinyasa teacher training with Gina Caputo at the Colorado School of Yoga to further her teaching knowledge and delve deeper into Vinyasa yoga. The experience with Gina and the school confirmed that teaching yoga is her jam and when you add heat it’s close to a heavenly experience.  She decided to move back to Durango in September of 2016 to be closer to her parents and have a more sustainable life.  ERYT-200, BFA in Dance.
