De West, ERYT

She began pursuing the path of yoga in 1992, first practicing yoga in Seattle, then moving to Boulder to study.

De's teaching reflects her experience in both Vinyasa,therapeutics and Iyengar yoga as well as a deep interest in anatomy and philosophy.

She has studied yoga with Richard Freeman, Rodney Yee, Aadil Palkhivala, Norman Allard and Gabriella Guibilaro. She also has worked extensively with yoga therapy for specific physical needs.

De teaches a regular prenatal yoga class and has also developed her own prenatal intensive for teachers and professionals in the birthing community. De's teaching style is warm, precise, and detailed.
