Rose has been a serious yoga practitioner for six years and has been teaching yoga for the past two years. She has been trained in the Iyengar method of teaching, which has the most rigorous training program of any method of yoga today. Rose studies on a weekly basis with Patricia Welden, one of only two advanced senior teachers in the world. As well as studying with Patricia, Rose has been exposed to yoga since birth, because her father has been teaching since 1976. Rose is not yet certified. Because of her age she won't be able to apply until fall of 2009.
Her training includes a method of teaching beginners to avoid injury yet strengthen and stretch the muscles, anatomy, and breathing techniques. One of her main teaching points is how yoga tones the physical body wonderfully, but it also helps to quiet and focus the mind. Rose teaches weekly classes as well as private classes which include special attention for elderly students or those with special needs.
