About Tammy

Tammy began studying Yoga in 1999 in southern California. Since then, she has participated in hundreds of hours of classes, workshops, retreats, and private instruction primarily with teachers from the Viniyoga tradition, particularly from the American Viniyoga Institute (AVI). She completed a 500 hour teacher training certification from AVI in 2007 and recently contributed a Yoga Teachers' Guide to Yoga with pregnant women for the AVI program. She has taught both adults and children part-time in group classes and through individual training sessions since 2002.

She completed a doctorate in physics in 2004 at the University of California Irvine. Her academic background in physics and astronomy gives her a particularly analytical approach to Yoga both in her personal practice and as a teacher. Tammy has primarily worked in the fields of astronomical research and science policy since 2004 though teaching Yoga has been integrated into her time from the beginning of her professional training.

Her teaching style is directed toward the therapeutic applications of Yoga to the life of the individual. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are the primary guiding principles to her teaching and personal practice. People who work with Tammy learn how to use Yoga to enrich the quality of their lives from improving physical health to stress reduction and an increased sense of well being.

She is currently residing in Regensburg, Germany and will be building classes and workshops for 2012.
