Dee Williams is a Yoga Alliance registered Hatha Yoga instructor, teaching an inspired blend of various styles of yoga since 2007. Dee’s personal yoga practice extends into her mission as a yoga teacher (to teach with compassion and mindfulness). She has been influenced by many teachers of the 5000 year old yoga tradition including B.K.S. Iyengar, Bikram Choudhury, Richard Miller, Ben Thomas and many more.
Dee draws inspiration from the insights of yoga and meditation in her classes. She teaches from personal experience and from a calm dedication to continuous practice and study. She delivers yoga and wellness classes from her heart with first-hand knowledge to help each student combine confidence, balance and mindfulness with movement, breath and meditation on the mat that transcends into better fullness of experiences off the mat.
In addition to yoga classes she delivers wellness education programs, that are created in association with a variety of healing practitioners (including Ayurveda, Naturopathic, Massage, Martial Arts, Pilates, Sports Fitness and Dance), to diverse communities including groups, businesses, organizations and schools. Dee writes books, articles and poetry about the journey into yoga, speaks at conferences and to groups or organizations.

WHAT IS HATHA YOGA?
“Hatha yoga, is a combination of movement into postures called asanas, combined with breathing and relaxation techniques, designed to work together to bring optimal health and well being.”– Yoga Journal
WHY YOGA?
“A good yoga session typically evokes peaceful, happy and loving feelings.”
–Ben Thomas, Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher
(Dee's mentor)
“Yoga is an art, a science and a philosophy.”
–B.K.S. Iyengar. biography
"Many modern schools of hatha yoga in the West derive from the school of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who taught from 1924 until his death in 1989. Among his students prominent in popularizing yoga in the West were
K. Pattabhi Jois famous for popularizing the vigorous Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga style,
B. K. S. Iyengar who emphasizes alignment and the use of props, Indra Devi and Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar."
- Wikipedia
"Each person can use Hatha Yoga postures (asanas) to unify mind, body and spirit, and to create inner harmony and peace. Hatha Yoga emphasizes relaxation. It conserves energy rather than expending it, for Yoga eliminates excitement, which adds toxins to the body.
A few minutes of daily practice in total awareness of body and mind will, ultimately, produce a calming state of inner control, a positive mental attitude, and a more energetic and loving spirit" - Queen Afua, excerpt from her book Heal Thyself for Health and Longevity

BENEFITS OF A YOGA PROGRAM
Yoga is an incredibly effective method to improve flexibility, increase strength, build muscle tone, improve breathing, enhance the sense of mind/body balance and overall feeling of wellness. Yoga's progress is steady over time with practice. The benefits become tangible as you will find the day that you take that next golf swing, shoot another basket, sit taller at your desk or just take another step on your life's journey and feel the benefit of your yoga practice off the mat.
