 Assisting JoAnn in Teacher Training will be Dotty Zevin, Louise Goldberg, Christine Apter. Dotty Zevin, R.Y.T., has been the Director of the Yoga Center in Deerfield Beach for 16 years. She received her yoga teacher certification 17 years ago at the Kripalu Center in Lenox, Mass. At Kripalu, Dotty developed her philosophy about yoga: It is a journey through our hearts to open to our highest selves. She believes in the joy of teaching. She encourages playfulness in her classes as a way to connect to divine grace. Dotty has the gift of inspiring her students to become teachers. Louise Goldberg, R.Y.T., is a licensed massage therapist and holds an M.A. in education. She was originally certified at the Sivananda Ashram in Quebec, and has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1980. In addition to teaching adults, she teaches yoga to children in the public school systems, including those with emotional handicaps and autism. Louise has trained hundreds of educators to implement yoga-based exercises into their classrooms. She uses yoga as therapy in her massage practice, and sees yoga’s benefits in healing injuries and chronic pain, both physical and emotional. Louise’s love for asana, her fascination with yoga philosophy, and her desire to bring peace into the world are the foundations for her teaching. Christine Apter, M.S., R.Y.T., is a Certified Yoga Teacher and has been studying Yoga for 30 years. Christine holds a Master’s Degree in Biology and has a background in the medical field. She uses a blend of mental (Raja) and physical (Hatha) techniques to purify and strengthen the mind, body and spirit, stressing practical uses of relaxation, alignment, concentration and meditation through breathing, postures and mindfulness. Her Yoga philosophy: “Our purpose on this earth is to realize our true nature”. |
