“No one is pain free…”
Wendy has been practicing yoga for two thirds of her life.
Scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, and an undiagnosed crack in a
vertebra caused her years of great pain while practicing yoga,
walking and even standing.
She ultimately braved a lumbar fusion and after two years of
physical therapy, discipline and gentle back-care yoga classes she
can now truly enjoy all that yoga has to offer.
Wendy has always loved what yoga brought to her body, mind
and spirit; and, with a structurally safer spine she completed a
200-RYT yoga teacher training in 2020 at the (former) Yoga Loft
in downtown Olympia, studying with Maureen Oar and Kristi
Lyons.
Knowing how important the health of the spine is to your quality
of life she focused her training on back-care and yoga’s capacity
for healing.
Wendy loves the earth and the feel of its good soil between her
fingers and toes. She pays attention to nature to better
understand its gifts of life. She grows most of her own fruits and
vegetables as she listens to the sound of every bird in her garden.
She has a background in nutritional therapy and knows the value
of real food. You will find Wendy in her kitchen or in her garden
when she’s not practicing yoga.
