Autumn Needles, RYT, began practicing yoga at age 12 in order to avoid a back brace for a spinal curvature. She ended up in the brace anyway, but was hooked on yoga for its calming and centering effects, and for its integrative life philosophy. Dance had always been, and continues to be, her favored form of outward expression, but yoga began her on her more private inner journey. That yoga journey has now spanned 28 years and has included both home practice and classroom training, purely restorative to physically challenging practices, and has encompassed many different styles and philosophies of yoga. She is a dancer, with a love for many different techniques, and has studied various forms of martial arts, Feldenkrais®, and Alexander Technique®. Living fully and physically within her body, and moving with joy and gratitude and pleasure, have been the foundation of her whole being. With her eclectic movement and yoga background, she decided to do her teacher training in Interdisciplinary® Yoga, a style that emphasizes listening to the body as teacher and draws from many traditional yoga practices, as well as from other body awareness techniques. She completed her 200-hour teacher training and certification at Nosara Yoga Institute in July 2006, is currently working towards her 500-hour certification, and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance®. She is very grateful to all of her teachers all along the way.
