Raina Fishbane

Teacher

I've always loved activities that keep me in constant motion, like running or tennis.  Yoga did not speak to me until I was introduced to Iyengar yoga, which I have now studied for 10 years.  I have become stronger and more flexible than I have been in years.  But it has also given me a way to quiet my mind, improve my mood and boost my energy.  The day no longer feels complete without some time on my mat. 

Why I Practice

For me, teaching is all about relationships and community.  I love how much I learn as I teach, and teaching has helped me to deepen my practice in ways I never imagined.  I have been so lucky to study with some incredible teachers and I am so grateful that I can share what I have learned.
