“Our organization launched our wellness program in 2013. Since the beginning, staff have inquired about the opportunity to add yoga to the wellness lineup. When a staff member referred Debby, I was excited about the opportunity to finally make yoga available. Debby provided yoga instruction to our staff for two months and she was great! She instructed staff at all levels, beginners to advanced, and she was able to instruct in a manner that met all expectations. I was so pleased with the results of our pilot program, that I will be inviting Debby back in the fall. We will gladly let Debby lead our minds, bodies and spirits any day!”

“I have been practicing yoga for a few years. I have had several teachers but my favorite is Debby. I like her so much that I even asked her to teach yoga privately to me and my two children (14 & 10). My older son loves our time with Debby and keeps asking me when is the next session. Training with Debby is a very rewarding experience. Besides working the physical part, Debby is able to inspire your mind and soul, so you finish the class positive, renewed and energized! ”

“I have been practicing with Debby for two years - both private and group lessons. I can unreservedly recommend her as a truly wonderful yoga instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the physicality of the postures and provides excellent coaching on how to achieve them. But Debby is also proficient in teaching the ‘moving meditation,’ so sessions with her are not just physically rewarding, but also spiritually so. She also has a warm, funny personality which makes it a true pleasure to be in her class. Debby is hands down one of the best yoga instructors I’ve practiced with and I wholeheartedly recommend her. ”

“I’ve been practicing Bikram yoga for 10 years, and Debby is one of the two teachers I have been practicing with since I started. Her dialogue and instruction are always fresh and new. She delivers wit and wisdom along with the standard Bikram dialogue. And interspersed in her dialogue is a wealth of information on how the various ‘moves’ improve our bodies and our minds. Debby constantly finds ways to encourage me to deepen my practice and to explore the nature of my being, and by the end of a session with her, I’m able to practice yoga better and engage life more fully. ”

“I asked Debby to present a yoga class to 65 kids at my music camp before our final concert. The ages ranged from 9 to 18 and most of them have never tried yoga before. Having taken classes with Debby over the last 4 year, I knew if anyone could lead this group of teenagers, it would be Debby! The class couldn’t have gone any better, the kids worked well and had FUN! It was all because of Debby; the way she gives clear instructions, explanations and corrections, actually, helped the students to focus and really get a lot out of the session. Debby is a master yoga instructor and I plan to have her back next year to make yoga at music camp an annual event.”

“I was so excited to hear that my company would be offering yoga on the rooftop this spring! Debby was a great instructor and even though we were all at different skill levels she was able to give each of us a great workout. If you get a chance to practice with her she will take your mind, body, and soul to another place, and you will forget about the busy streets of D.C. just for a moment. ”

“I have practiced Bikram yoga for almost five years with a variety of experienced instructors. Debby clearly stands out with a very unique ability to teach a technical, challenging class while keeping the true essence of yoga: meditation in motion. Debby is well-versed in many styles of yoga, which provides her with a unique ability to teach a structured Bikram routine, while enabling students to flow seamlessly from one pose to another.

Debby’s instructions are clear, razor-sharp, precise, and uplifting; they make it easier for every student to master breath and feel rejuvenated throughout class. As an additional ‘treat’, Debby usually concludes class with a few inspiring words that will make you leave the studio with great inner peace. ”

“Debby is an amazing teacher! I have been taking Bikram yoga classes with her for about 10 years. Under Debby’s tutelage, my practice has greatly improved. Debby helps her students feel inspired. When you take a class with Debby, you know you are in capable hands. She gives gentle suggestions and helpful tips. Debby is attuned to the needs of her students. In addition to taking group yoga classes with Debby, I have also had the opportunity to take a private class with her. It was a wonderful experience! Her enthusiasm, patience, and guidance have helped me significantly. I cannot say enough good things about Debby, she is the best!”

“Debby instructed a small-group vinyasa yoga practice the morning of my wedding. Before the class, I had asked that she gear our practice towards stretching and breathing and all things that help take away wedding day jitters - and she did exactly that! Debby’s manner is very smooth and strong, she gives clear direction while effortlessly instructing her students to focus on both their inner thoughts and physical demands. I absolutely recommend Debby for both group and private sessions and can’t wait to work with her again!”

“I loved yoga with Debby. Whether attendance was large or small, she managed to pace the class in a way that worked for all participants. As one of the less fit, balance-challenged participants, Debby always helped me find a way to make each pose work for me. I looked forward to class each week, slept soundly that night, and was ache free the next morning. I can’t wait for our next series of classes with her [at my office].”

“I began a series of yoga sessions with Debby at the suggestion of my wife and daughters, who are Bikram yoga students of Debby’s. They spoke highly of her unique ability to mold each individual’s body to yoga postures that have been around for centuries. After completing several sessions of my own with her I, too, can speak to her ability to align the yoga postures to my own body’s unique needs. She is very passionate in what she does and extremely knowledgeable. As a result of my sessions I have begun to gain a nice balance of strength and flexibility. I hope to continue private lessons with Debby and would recommend her to others looking for the same benefits I have obtained from our classes together. ”
