Teacher Bio

Mindy came to Portland two years ago from Salt Lake City, Utah. She has been practicing yoga for 8 years. She first came to it to get fit, but stayed because of the mental tranquility that it gives her. Yoga makes a good antidote to her otherwise zany schedule of being a performer, theater teacher, freelance writer and aspiring guitar player. The practice and study of yoga has been an amazing tool along Mindy's journey of accepting her body, soul and life situation as they are; This is what she hopes to share with the world through teaching. She went through the Bhaktishop School of Yoga's training program in SE Portland this past spring and will soon be a registered yoga teacher (RYT) at the 200-hour level with Yoga Alliance. Mindy is a freelance theatre educator who teaches at Northwest Children's Theater and School and Oregon Children's Theater. She also writes for the local website www.livepdx.com. Mindy enjoys good bread and chocolate and the great outdoors very much (Preferably all in the same weekend).
