Dori
Dori started practicing yoga about 30 years ago, as part of an integrated exercise program. She became more interested in the practice as she developed debilitating back pain due to osteoarthritis. The difference it made for her was astounding.
She has been teaching yoga for 5 years and teaching with RTB for a year.
“Yoga aligns the physical with the metaphysical. It is the soft ripple of change that goes out to the universe from my soul. I love the idea that it is a practice, a journey, and not a destination.”
