About Dolores

Dolores Little, 200 RYT, Yoga Wall Level I & II Dolores attended her first yoga class 10 years ago as a means to shake up her exercise routine, but it didn’t take long for her to realize that yoga is so much more than what happens on the mat. She received her 200 hour certification from Studio Bamboo Institute of Yoga in Dec 2010, and is currently pursuing 500 hour certification under her beloved teacher, Lisa ‘Asha’ Rapp. Dolores was first introduced to the Yoga Wall at The Space Above and immediately recognized how this unique prop can open the body and deepen your practice. She attended Yoga Wall training with Bryan Legere, one of the inventors of the Yoga Wall, in early 2011, receiving Level I and Level II certification. Dolores finds that yoga is essential in helping her deal with the day-to-day stress and international travel associated with being a Security Specialist for NATO, where she has worked for the last 24 years. Dolores lives in Norfolk with her husband, David; together they enjoy traveling and spending weekends on their classic mahogany boat at their summer home on Lake Gaston

Upcoming Workshop: Deconstructing the Forward Bend with Kim Austin-Peterman

In this class we will focus on the many misinterpretations and limiting physical patterns which commonly tend to mis-align a broad range of movements including the forward bend.

We will find a more literal understanding within certain postures by looking at how our joints and muscles relate to them.

This knowledge can help us discover how freeing up our bodies will not only improve our yoga practice but also bring much ease to every day living and help us age more gracefully!
