KY Yoga Therapy - Credentials

Todd works as a psychotherapist in private practice in a family physician's office in Versailles, KY. She has been teaching yoga since 1989.

A graduate of American Viniyoga Institute 500 level teacher training, Todd studied with Gary Kraftsow. Renowned in his field, Kraftsow studied in India with T.K.V. Desikachar, son of Krishnamacharya, and is the founder of the American Viniyoga Institute, LLC, where he is Director and Senior Teacher. Upon graduation from the AVI therapy program, Todd has continued her studies with T.K.V Desikachar and his wife, Meneka. She has also completed courses under Dr. Kausthub Desikachar on healing with the mantra.

Todd's flow classes combine the breath and the mantra chanting. Each class includes a seated breath practice in which she prepares the student during the flow class. Each class is specifically designed to meet the needs of the student.

Todd's yoga therapy sessions address the specific physical or emotional issues of each student after a thorough assessment of their needs.
