Rose has been a student of yoga since 2008, completing her first teacher training with her beloved teacher Rutu Chaudhari in 2009. From her very first practice, Rose found herself enamored with the myriad effects of yoga. While the positive physiological effects of yoga were undeniable, including enhanced strength, mobility and body awareness, it was the clarity of mind, increased self confidence, emotional stability & expanded perspective that captured Rose’s heart. Rose has utilized these techniques and philosophies to heal from deep suffering & feel more agency & autonomy in her own experience as well as more joy and capacity to connect with others.

 

She has studied with many well regarded teachers, most recently in the Ashtanga vinyasa tradition. While Rose appreciates the potency, rigour and meditative, breath focused aspects of Ashtanga yoga, she continues to both practice and teach various forms of yoga along a spectrum of intensity from restful restorative to power vinyasa, finding great value in the variation offered through this tradition of yoga and receiving the unique benefits of different types of practice. While not sharing the Ashtanga vinyasa krama, Rose enjoys connecting to the energy of her students and offering postures in real time that offer reprieve for the body and encourage the free flow of prana- to this end, she rarely plans her classes before hand and embraces spontaneity, inviting connection to Source for optimal guidance- her teaching is intuitive and intended to be deeply therapeutic. Practices are meditative in nature, with time to feel into each shape and practice treating the body and consciousness with deep respect. Along with her business partner, Lesley Anderson, Rose opened Boho Yoga in McMinnville, Or – a small agriculture community in the heart of Oregon wine country, on Kalapuya lands, in 2017 and continues to share the boon of yoga with hometown residents and travelers alike.
