 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 20 years. She received her yoga teacher certification 23 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., ERYT 500 holds a Master’s Degree in Biology and has a background in the medical field. She is a Registered Yoga instructor and has been studying yoga since 1968. Christine is an Adjunct Instructor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida in the Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion and is on the staff of Yoga Teacher Training at the Yoga Center of Deerfield Beach, Florida. She has been inspired by the Anusara style of yoga which blends the science of biomechanics and the art of opening to grace to add more joy and beauty to the world. It cultivates skills and virtues to empower the yoga practitioner to become the person that he or she wants to be both on and off of the mat. The results are freedom in the body, mind, and heart, with a more expansive perspective of life. She embraces the delight of yoga and is dedicated to serving each student to help them unveil their innate goodness, worthiness, and Supreme nature. Known for her enthusiasm, knowledge, wit and wisdom, Christine’s yoga philosophy is: “Our purpose on this earth is to realize our true nature.” |
