Louise Desjardins

Louise was introduced to yoga as a teenager through the kindness of a neighbor. Yoga has played an important role in her life through the ups and downs of adolescence, early adulthood, a career in book publishing, marriage, childbirth and child rearing, caring for aging parents, and now the wisdom years. Her many teachers include Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten. She is trained in Restorative Yoga by Judith Lasater; in Hot Yoga by JoMary Fahey; and in Kripalu Yoga by Dan Marcus and Amba Conners. Louise embraces this time in her life that allows her to dig deeper into yoga for spiritual meaning. She loves Restorative Yoga because of its emphasis on being rather than doing. We are all connected by spirit. Yoga helps us to see and feel the connections and to live happier, freer, and more loving lives.
