An Informal List of Friends and Colleagues
This is an informal list of the studios and websites of friends and colleagues teaching what is often referred to as Viniyoga. It is an evolving list and your help in developing this is welcome. Those of you with long involvement in this tradition will understand the difficulties of developing and maintaining a list of individual teachers.
The ability to understand and teach in this tradition does require extensive training, in part due to the focus on individuals, the scope of practice, the heritage of the lineage and the many therapeutic applications. The network of such teachers, however, is rather informal. Many may eschew the certification and registration process developing in America.
At this time, we have primarily listed studios with websites. Please understand, however, that due to the nature of the teaching and the emphasis on personal practice and relationships, some teachers only teach privately and may have little interest in a studio, much less a website. This list is not an endorsement. Feel free to ask any of these studios and teachers about their qualifications before studying with them.
This list is sponsored by John Kepner, Fran Ubertini and Linda and Eric Getz.
