About Rosie-
“I love teaching!
My practice brings me joyful moments of discovery, and from there I create sequences to share those discoveries with my students. In the course of teaching, I gain even more insight, and THAT I reinvest back into my practice. It is a wonderful cycle! My classes are thoughtfully-sequenced and challenging, but also playful and inclusive as I really believe yoga is for everybody.
Rosie Richardson discovered Iyengar yoga in 1998 as an exhausted parent of small children. As a former dancer and synchronized swimmer, she was drawn the to the precision of the instruction, and the well-rounded, multi-faceted approach and explorative nature of the practice. Rosie is a transplant to the Bay State from the Bay area of California where she completed her two-year teacher training at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco in 2008, studied with senior teachers there, and deepened her study through 4 trips to India to study with the Iyengar family. She is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher at Level 2.
Rosie has taught for 14 years and brings a deep understanding of anatomy, and a background in therapeutic yoga for back issues and bone health to her teaching. She has served on the boards of the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the US and the Iyengar Yoga Association of New England. Prior to starting on the path of yoga, she worked in not-for-profit management, consumer product marketing, business development and university and public broadcasting fundraising. Rosie grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and is in love with the breadth of hiking here in the Bay State and beyond.
