When I became a yoga instructor, I was given the spiritual name of Narayani. Since then, this is the name I use in my yoga practice. It helps me to keep in touch with the source of the practice and to remember to always follow my Guru's teaching.
Yoga and sailing came together for me years ago when I met Manny. I have found many parallels between them. The contemplative quality of our days at sea closely resembles the deep concentration of meditation. The practice of Yoga philosophy provides me with valuable tools for coping with the emotional challenges that a cruising sailor faces from time to time. Living close to nature brings balance to my sometimes hectic teaching schedule whether we are at sea or tied to the dock at a marina.

Yoga is an intrinsic part of my life and I have learned to adapt my personal practice to our current local, whether it's on our 30 foot sailboat, the dock, at sea, the beach or a local studio. It is all the same. Teaching yoga gives me great joy and I agree with Amit Desai who says "Being a yoga teacher is much more than a profession. It is an extension of your personal spiritual discipline, intended to enrich your life as you help others to enrich theirs."
When Manny and I settle in a marina for awhile, I seek out ways to teach yoga in the local community. We are open to changing our cruising itinerary to allow me to accept offers to teach. Along with my regular classes, I teach private classes for people wishing to focus on a specific area of their practice as well as those recovering from injuries or illness. I look forward to teaching in retreats.
