Ame Dale

Ame began yoga 6 years ago, where she was drawn to not only the physical practice but the mind body connection. She practices yoga daily and incorporates yoga into all aspects of her life including her occupational therapy profession. A therapeutic yoga approach assists her patients to return their prior level of function after hospitalizations for STROKE, HIP FRACTURES and COPD.

She recently moved from Hilton Head Island where she lived for 10 plus years to Coral Springs, Florida where she lives with her husband Dan of 26 years who also practices yoga.

In Ame's and Dan's kitchen there is a framed needle point quote by her grandmother, Tess. It says "Waste not... Want not" It speaks to living in the present and being grateful for the many daily blessings .

Laura Petersen

I began my journey of yoga in 2001 while training in the martial arts. In 2005 I received a 200 hour Teaching Certificate from Holy Cow Yoga Center in Charleston, SC. However, I found my true love of yoga in the Jivamukti Yoga Method. In May 2009 I received my 300hour Teaching Certificate in this method. Classes are infused with a strong physical practice with a sprinkle of spirituality and a dash of philosophy, a perfect mix for a complete mind-body-spirit experience. The benefits of this practice are all encompassing & something you can incorporate off the matt and into your life. I humbly bow to my beloved teachers, Sharon Gannon and David Life, words cannot express my gratitude. To Jeffrey Cohen for "speaking my language" and Andrea Boyd for your beauty, wisdom, grace and devotion. Lady Ruth Lauer-Manenti, you opened my heart & changed my life. My 2 children, you have been my greatest teachers and my husband, who supports me in all that I do.
