Sandra Pleasants | Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher's Teacher Profile

Sandra PleasantsSandra discovered Iyengar yoga in her late 40’s. Her 5 children were then grown so she had time to devote to an intensive practice. She was inspired by her teacher Betsey Downing to become a teacher in her own right. She is now in her 70’s and continues to practice and teach. Her Life experience as mother of 5 and grandmother of 8 gives her and accessibility that allows students to feel simultaneously challenged and supported. Her down to earth teaching style is precise, dynamic and laced with humor.
