TERRY BADARAfter an illness in 1998 I started Iyengar Yoga at the Ventura Yoga Studio. From my yoga practice and spiritual path of Siddha Yoga I have learned to listen to my body and have become more balanced. I now share this knowledge with my students at the Ventura Yoga Studio and love it! I have been an elementary school teacher since 1982 and incorporate yoga in my classes. I incorporate Deep Emotional Release Bodywork in my teaching that helps release negative emotions so students can experience more of their true selves. Along with my love for yoga, I enjoy music, the out doors, bike riding, and hiking in Ojai where I live with ny lovely teenage daughter, Elizabeth. |

BENJA SAGAR - a practicing physical therapist with 15 years experience in neuro and orthopedic rehab. My husband and I love living in Ventura and enjoy going to the beach with our grand daughters and camping with our small family. I found yoga during my search for therapeutic exercises that could be applied to my patient population. Yoga has given me the bottomless resource. It has been invaluable for my patients if not more for myself. Thanks to the excellent teachings over the last 10 years by Jeneth Rundell and Bryan Legere, I feel confident to share what I’ve learned and help others to bring greater awareness to body and mind. |
