Instructors
Jemima Croker
Jemima Croker journeys to India each year to deepen her practice, exploring the healing powers of asana, pranayama, and meditation. The foundation of her teaching is that physical yoga is the first step on an inward journey; that feeling the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit within your own self helps you realize your connection to others, your environment, and the elements that make up the universe. Jemima believes that with practice, yoga cultivates the embodied recognition of body, mind and spirit as one.
