Pam McGraw

Pam began her yogic journey attending classes at “turning point yoga” in her hometown of Madison, Connecticut.  “I initially went to yoga classes to explore another form of exercise.  Over time I realized yoga wasn’t about achieving or how flexible I was, or how somebody looked on the mat next to me.  Yoga is not competitive, it is compassionate”.  This discovery led Pam to an immersion of practice and study at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  Under the tutelage of Brahmini Liebman and Jasoda Edmunds, Pam received her Teacher Training Certificate.  Working with classic postures, breath work, and alignment principles, students will be encouraged to strengthen body, mind, and spirit.
