I have taught children’s yoga at local schools (Christine Morrison Elementary, et al), and camps. As well, I offer a seminar to K-12 teachers on how to incorporate yoga into their DPA and physical education classes. I've lead retreats and been part of the yoga community for more than 20 years. I continue to grow my practice and teaching through continuing education and personal study.
In 1990, I started training in Aikido (traditional Japanese martial art). I am the chief instructor at our dojo, Aikido Takayama, in Mission, BC. We are associated with TK Chiba's organization, Birankai and run both youth and adult classes. I am a certified aikido instructor, registered in Japan’s Hombu dojo and hold a 5th degree black belt.
