Iris discovered yoga 10 years ago at a small studio in Sag Harbor, New York when a friend recommended yoga as an antidote to the stresses of mothering three boys and writing magazine articles. Now she aims to be that friend to everyone she encounters. Cultivating the transformative power of this rich tradition inspired her to share her passion through teaching. She found her home in Anusara’s elegant, heart-opening, alignment system. Her classes encourage students to manifest their strength, balance and focused awareness using breath and alignment.
