Darby Beckman

Darby's initial love for yoga was sparked and nurtured by her mother with the philosophical writings of the East, of which their home was filled. Guided by these ideas of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Zen, her path naturally led her to begin her physical practice at the local YMCA at age 16. However, it was not until 2007 when she was led to her teacher Lisa Rapp that she formed a solid love for the practice. She began herteacher training with Lisa that October and graduated with her cherished fellow yogis and yoginis in June 2008. Darby is a 200 hour certified RYT and is currently working on her 500 hour RYT which she will recieve in June of 2010. In addition, Darby is a 2007 graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she studied to be a Certified Holistic Health Counselor accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Darby has a love and appreciation for yoga asana in all it's forms but especially resonates with vinyasa-style, Jivamukti and Astanga yoga.
