Nancy D. Sutton-Pierce, RN, Health Educator, Yoga Teacher & Yoga Therapist
Nancy Sutton-Pierce My passion for Yoga began in the early 1990’s. My first instructor was Shanna Franklin and the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga. Since then, I have spent countless hours exploring the world of yoga. Each time I visit a different city, I attend yoga classes at various studios offering a variety of yoga styles. I have also completed a year of teacher training at the Iyengar Institute in San Francisco. This style of yoga, with its precision and exactness, fits right in with my background in nursing and science. I personally experienced the power of yoga almost immediately and found myself profoundly changed through my yoga experience. I have an extensive background in Health Education, more specifically, Diabetes Management. Through my yoga I have come to know a deeper truth about health and well being. "The degree to which we will enjoy these is directly related to the level of responsibility we are willing to assume for our bodies." Taking an active role in health-preservation is a main focus for my own life, the life of my family, and for those who ask for my guidance as a health educator. Opening the House of Yoga is my way of offering a pathway for those in search of a more gratifying connection to themselves as a whole. I know that yoga can strengthen and stretch the body, and I also know that through this strength we are better able to tap into the deeper truth of ourselves. Yoga prepares, heals and offers a great opportunity to expand our idea of who we are and what we are capable of. You wouldn't believe how your first handstand will make you feel and prepare you for the next challenge life tosses your way. It is my experience that we can create a new relationship with ourselves through the regular practice of yoga. We are fortunate that so many wonderful and talented teachers have offered their gifts to the House of Yoga. I am a devoted student and will continue to learn from each and every one of them, as will you. I look forward to sharing this enlightening and potentially life altering experience with you for many years to come. In May 2005, Mark and I completed a two~year Structural Yoga Therapy Teacher Training program with Mukunda Stiles in Pasadena, Ca. We have enjoyed this journey together and look forward to sharing with all of you what we have learned. New York is my newest favorite place to learn about the yoga. We just spent an incredible 2 days with John Friend learning about Anusara Yoga. What an amazing and gifted teacher he is. He inspires me to want to be a better person and a better teacher. We also visited a studio called OM YOGA. If you ever visit New York, go there. It is a wonderful and beautiful studio offering 108 classes weekly. I highly recommend taking a class from MARGA GUERGUE. She will inspire you. We are so blessed to be on this incredible yoga journey and to meet such wonderful teachers in our travels. The yoga community overall is warm and kind and loving. I highly recommend that when you visit other cities you too venture out and visit other yoga studios. We love doing this and have always been able to find something wonderful in every class we have taken.
We are even luckier that our Primary teacher, Mukunda Stiles, visits REDDING every year. Don't forget to reserve a spot in the Annual Thanksgiving Workshop that Mukunda provides at the House of Yoga in November!
