DEBORAH STRICKLAND
Deborah has practiced yoga for many years which has led to an appreciation of yoga as an adjunct to sports activities as well as a source of mental and emotional grounding. She soon began to incorporate many of the asanas and breathing techniques into her work as a physical therapist with positive results. She received her physical therapy degree from the University of Florida and Advanced Masters Degree from UNC Chapel Hill, and has been licensed to practice physical therapy in North Carolina for many years. Deborah chose to deepen her understanding of yoga by pursuing teacher certification through the Mandala Yoga School 200 hour training program. The practice of aerial yoga added a new dimension to her practice for the past 2 years. She takes a mindful and educational approach to teaching yoga and strives to provide challenging yet relaxing classes.
