About Louise

Louise is a certified Prana Yoga Teacher and has been offering the gift of yoga for over three years. She was fortunate to train under Jeff Migdow, MD, the former director of the Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training, who beautifully integrated his medical, yogic, and holistic knowledge into the 200 hour coursework.

Her Prana Yoga teaching experience includes Stony Brook University Wellness Center, Commack Library, Kings Park Library, Port Jefferson Free Library, and Yoga for Life Studio in Setauket.  She has also taught yoga to families infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, children with learning disabilities, and women living in a domestic violence shelter.

To continually hone her teaching methods and content, Louise regularly studies with skilled instructors who trained under Sri Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga Yoga), John Friend (Anusara Yoga), Shiva Rea (Vinyasa Yoga), and Dharma Mittra.

More recently, she completed the 650 hour training to become a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Practitioner. She often reflects back on the year-long experience with a heart full of gratitude for her transformative personal growth and tools she learned to "Turn Stress into Bliss." She is especially thankful that she was able to audit the Phoenix Rising Group Facilitator Training which trains yoga therapists to lead an 8-week group stress reduction program.

Sharing the healing power of yoga in its various forms is always a joy for her.

Louise has just begun her first year of medical school and is excited about the years ahead.

She finds such pleasure in eating home cooked vegetarian delights, dancing with with her eyes closed, and connecting with nature, especially amongst trees, in water, and under the stars.
