Judy Scribner, owner and teacher

Judy Scribner has been practicing meditation since 1972, yoga since 1981, and teaching both since 1987. In addition to her yoga training and personal practice, a degree in Human Development and experience as a visual artist, an athlete and a mother inform her teaching and enable her skill at guiding students with vivid imagery and clear instruction. She is skilled at adapting the classical yoga postures to meet individual needs and encourages students to practice with patience to reveal the yoga already present within.

In her weekly classes and workshops, Judy shares ideas for integrating practice into daily routines so yoga becomes an accessible, personal and sustaining practice. She instructs students to use the natural rhythms of the breath to reveal the innate intelligence of the body and the ability to release long-held patterns of tension to find comfort and ease of movement. Her teaching is grounded in a firm belief that the practice of yoga enables us to be more fully present for both the challenges and joys of living.

"When I first started studying with Judy, I was experiencing a good deal of pain and stiffness in my knees that neither my primary care physician nor the orthopedic specialist could fully diagnose. After working with Judy for a few months, my pain lessened and my flexibility increased dramatically. She helps her students visualize and imagine the subtleties of poses from within, and strongly emphasizes listening to the wisdom of one's own body. Not only is Judy a skilled and experienced teacher, she is also a very warm and caring person. Her classes are friendly, comfortable places in which to practice yoga, and she makes an effort to know each student as an individual, treating him or her as a fellow traveler on the path of inquiry."
