It was here at Fresh; where Nancy took her first Forrest Yoga class that she found her passion.

Nancy believes that what you do, say and think lives in your body. This can be a good thing if you are present in each moment – connected to your body, mind and spirit. But, the patterns you create each time you think, move or act without awareness also become a part of your biology. These are the places where your energy becomes stuck – resulting in injuries both physically and emotionally.

Nancy teaches in a way that uses the breath and physical movement to move energy out of your stuck spots to create freedom, strength, and a connection to spirit. She invites you to take the journey – stay engaged – move with awareness and compassion – playfully challenge yourself as you move to your edge... just enough to shake things up and feel what lives there.

Nancy's passion for Forrest Yoga has inspired her many friends and students to direct their competitive energies toward self exploration and healing.

Nancy has studied with Heidi Sormaz in a Forrest Yoga mentoring program at Fresh Yoga and she has completed the Forrest Foundation Teacher Training and Advanced Training. She is a RYT with Yoga Alliance and has a 200 hour Iyengar-based certification from Yoga Spirit Studio in MA. Nancy's fascination with releasing energy through movement has led her to explore dance. She has completed the Trance Dance Teacher Training with Shiva Rea and will be studying with Gabrielle Roth in 2008.
