As a yoga teacher, body awareness and compassion are her focus. As a writing instructor, Holly motivates participants to transcend the “inner critic” by tapping into physical awareness and compassion and allowing the body to have a voice. Holly believes that everyone’s story has value, and the diversity of our individual experience is essential to our collective evolution. Through the study of yoga, the chakra system, reiki, and writing, Holly has developed the fun and inspiring workshop Writing the Energetic Body and the meditation cd Journey through the Chakras.

Holly has been a certified yoga instructor since 1996 and enjoys teaching yoga in North and South America. She has taught live versions of Writing the Energetic Body since 2008. Visit here for a more in-depth look at her bio and philosophy.
