About me
Hansa has provided Kripalu-based teachings to the local yoga community for nearly 50 years. As a well-practiced ācārya (teacher), Hansa has taught Yoga Teacher Training, Advanced Specialty Yoga Topics, and Yoga Therapy Training all informed by Ayurveda. She continues to deepen her own study, especially in Subtle Anatomy, Ayurveda, Jyotisha, and Sanskrit. All of Hansa’s offerings reflect her many years of study and teaching, based in a therapeutic approach.
Her maturing teachings reveal her personal goal of passing on the wisdom of the ancient teachings, that is more than āsana, and she provides mentoring to those who are seeking on the Yoga path. Hansa considers her students to be her greatest teachers. Her goal is to include breadth and depth so serious sādhaka (yoga students) can enhance their foundation as one grows their yoga endeavors.
In her presentations, she offers grounded teachings, based on classical yoga texts and practices for a student's educational and spiritual pursuits: the philosophy helps one understand why yoga works; and the tools are our opportunity to dive deeper into experiences of connecting body, mind, emotions and Spirit. She enjoys sharing her love for tantric tools and philosophies, esoteric anatomy, and expanded yoga topics in collaboration with yoga friends nationally.Yoga is more than a practice. It is expanding off the mat and using the information gleaned on the mat for living fully day-to-day. This is really Hansa’s passion! Yoga changed her life.
