DEBBI GITTERMAN, RYT-500

Debbi is an experienced yoga instructor and certified yoga therapist (RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance) who began her journey on the mat 20 plus years ago.

Debbi believes firmly in the healing power of yoga. Her goal is to empower practitioners to take control of their own health and well being through movement, attention to breath, and meditation. Her expertise lies in making yoga accessible for every body: demystifying poses, simplifying breath work, and making meditation accessible, all with humor and compassion.

Stress, anxiety, fear, depression, trauma, have a sneaky way of manifesting themselves in the body, often causing physical pain. Whether the pain is chronic or acute or somewhere in between, yoga can offer a way to find relief. The physical aspect of yoga, asana, can provide a way to manage pain.

Asana is also powerful in that it can be a foot in the door to access the underlying psycho-social causes of pain. Pranayama, breath work, acts as an equally potent tool to calm the central nervous system. Factor in meditation, and the yoga trifecta is complete.

• Weekly: Rise-and-Shine slow flow - Fridays 9-10 am in the Sault Haus

  The class is designed to get your blood pumping, your body flexible, your mind sharp, all with an eye on creating balance — physical AND otherwise. Asana is linked + fluid within the basic framework of sun salutations. Use of props is strongly recommended (bring mats+straps, blocks are provided), as well as a working knowledge of basic poses. All levels welcome!

• Monthly: Moving with the Seasons Yoga + Salt Cave relaxation , monthy Sundays 4:30-6 pm.

• Restorative Yoga in the salt cave, Tuesday, May 7, 7-8 pm

• Private yoga sessions in the Sault Haus

  Private lessons start with communication: together, the practitioner and Debbi identify goals that are attainable, and they craft a plan that can be done at home or incorporated into classes. The intention is that the practitioner leaves each session with more knowledge. How many are necessary? It depends on what is being sought!

  WHY DEBBI? She breaks it down so that the work is manageable and easy to understand, therefore easy to do. Debbi has a breadth of experience and depth of knowledge; she understands that each individual has a different story housed in their body, their mind, their spirit. She is passionate about helping her students find balance, harmony, and healing. The sessions are $150 and can be booked directly with Debbi via email. Check out Debbi’s website here.

NANCY PEREZ, RT, E-RYT

Nancy discovered yoga while in search of supportive tools for patients with cardiac and pulmonary chronic conditions. As a Respiratory Therapist, she believed that patients could benefit from a practice that could bridge the gap where traditional medicine leaves off and everyday life begins.

The restorative and meditative aspects of yoga also helped Nancy cope with the loss of her mother to breast cancer. Yoga has provided unmatched opportunities to emerge empowered and supported through mindful movement and integrative breathwork.

Nancy believes that the lessons we learn on the mat help us navigate everyday life with grace and equanimity-a reflection of the body’s desired harmony and balance. She hopes to facilitate a lifestyle practice that supports sustainable change. Nancy also teaches at Gratitude Yoga in Princeton. Off the mat, Nancy is a Respiratory Therapist and Medical Massage Therapist.

• Monthly: Candlelight Restorative Yin Yoga, twice a month, Thursdays 7-8 pm in the salt cave

Designed mostly with ground postures: the body will experience deep & longer-held stretching while enveloped by the soft glow of the salt cave. No prior experience needed.
