Teachers

Margaret Burkesmith

First and foremost, I want you to know that it would be my honor to ‘hold space’ and support you during your own self-exploration into self realization; whether that be in a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session or in a Private or Group (traditional) Yoga Class.

Just prior to having my second son, Connor (in 1996), I was introduced to Yoga, or it to me, not sure which. Being a runner and biker, I was excited to find Yoga because I had a sense that it would assist me in balancing my body within these sports and would create a sense of vitality. At that time, I could not even come close to touching my toes, while sitting or standing.

Today, I continue being dedicated to my own practice and discoveries within it, moving beyond the physical benefits. I continue to enjoy teaching, having been doing so since 2002 (children and adults), yet am now a little more mystified with how to approach teaching this subtle, yet profound practice which has changed my life. I am learned in and have taught mostly Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtaanga Yoga. I am filled with gratitude to also be a Certified Practitioner, Teacher, and Therapeutic Life Mentor of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy as well as IAYT-Certified.
