Colleen Dwyer
Colleen has been practicing yoga as
a dedicated student for eight years, and as a teacher for three of
those years. Colleen devotes her life to "living yoga", and she has
been practicing Ayurveda under the guidance of certified practitioners
for five years. Colleen is certified through Yogi Master Alan Finger's
Be Yoga, in the ISHTA (Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and
Ayurveda) style. Colleen has taken eight years of experience and
developed a style all of her own, taking a gentle approach, honoring
the body, and paying detailed attention to alignment. The experience of
having cancer has given her a new understanding of the body and the
ability to connect with it. "Challenging poses are (still) fun, but now
when I practice them, they come from a different place inside of me, a
place that I can help you connect to". She creates a safe environment
where she shares her kind, soothing, accepting spirit, and obvious
passion, with you. Colleen tenderly leads you, expert or novice, using
asana (postures), pranayama (breath regulation), music, readings,
candles, incense, chanting, and meditation - back to a world, one you
may have lost touch with - a world of authentic you!
Colleen
has been practicing meditation, outside of the yoga class for five
years. She has studied Vipassana (Insight Meditation) and various other
styles. Colleen completed a children's teacher training program at
Karma Kids, NYC, in August 2006. In March 2007, Colleen was certified
by Sonia Sumar to teach Yoga For Special Children. In April 2007, she
was certified to teach Prenatal Yoga, Couples Yoga for Labor and
Delivery, and Postpartum/Mommy and Baby Yoga. Colleen currently teaches
at her home studio in East Nashville, see her schedule for details.
