In 1998, I created The Bodhi Tree as a space for others to find enlightenment through self exploration primarily through the practice of Yoga. Classes were offered in a wide range of yoga practices such as asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, and chanting, as well as other body awareness and movement studies such as Pilates, NIA, belly dancing and more. My philosphy is to encourage people to get out of their heads and into their bodies. I encourage any movement that gets people feeling instead of thinking!
The Bodhi Tree Yoga & Pilates Studio morphed into The Bodhi Tree Yoga & Pilates School in 2002. This transition occurred when I realized that if my goal (my Dharma) is to get the entire planet doing yoga, I needed to pick up the pace a bit. The next logical step was to teach students to become teachers, therefore providing a high quality of teachers for the rising local demand.
The Bodhi Tree School was born with The Yoga Alliance's national stamp of approval! It is already in its 7th year and growing! It is Charlotte's original yoga & pilates school with Charlotte's best teachers! Pilates teacher training was added in 2008.
The next stage of growth for
The Bodhi Tree begins with a move to New York City in the fall of 2008. I
will be taking a short sabbatical while getting settled into the Big Apple.
Yoga, chanting, meditation and pilates workshops, seminars, trainings, and
continuing education courses will be offered in New York City and
Charlotte, NC in the near future. Be sure to add yourself to our e-mail

Joyfully,
