Sandy Hicks, Registered Yoga Teacher 500 through the National Yoga Alliance

The clearest memory I own is that of sitting in lotus on top of some tall building in downtown Rochester, NY with the great guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the mid 70's. I spoke not a word.....but there is where my yoga meditation practice began.......

My Passion ultimately led me to Nosara Yoga Institute in beautiful Costa Rica to study Yoga under the wing of Amba and Don Stapleton. Yoga has allowed me to return to a place in my soul I had put aside.  My free-spirited nature lets me devote my spare time to workshops and retreats to enhance my studies and practice. My asana practice is the product of practicing and studying from various backgrounds blended with over 30 years Meditation practice.  

Yoga is for everyone, everybody, and  everybeing. You can't fail at Yoga. All you need is the ability to breathe. I hope to breathe with you. Namaste
