Growing Movement Yoga

Cory L. Kern, B.A. Dance/M.Ed., began her study of Hatha Yoga over 35 years ago with the Integral Yoga Institute.  She has been teaching Yoga and dance throughout the Hartford area since the 1970's at various area institutions including The Hartford Conservatory, Westminster School, Trinity College, the Greater Hartford Academy of the Performing Arts, Enlightened Way Wellness Center, as well as many recreation and health programs.  Her training also includes work in Ballet, Modern Dance, and Pilates. During this time she also had a 20 year career as a middle school teacher.

Cory's work in Yoga builds upon her training in anatomy and kinesiology.  She believes we can maintain our bodies as we age by building strength and flexibility.  Her dance career was supported  and enriched by her discovery of Integral Hatha Yoga in her 20's.  As  a dance teacher, Cory specialized in unlocking the "mysteries" of  dance for non-dancers so they could experience the joy and excitement of Modern Dance and Ballet, and she applies those principles to her Yoga teaching.
