She began practicing yoga almost 20 years ago and, relishing the role of a perpetual student, has found that her practice has been a continual learning experience wherein she feels taller, more capable, and most importantly, more centered. To deepen her own practice, Debra completed 200-hour teacher training at All People Yoga Center under the direction of Dona Robinson and Ann Miller in 2012. With the gentle guidance of a good mentor and friend, she took the leap into teaching in 2013 and has loved every minute of it. She has continued learning through workshops with master teachers Erich Schiffmann and Sarah Powers. In 2014, she completed Yoga of the Heart: Cardiac and Cancer certification with Nischala Joy Devi and is currently working toward Gentle, Senior, and Chair certification through YogaVista Academy.
