Sherry Thompson, M.S .
Sherry has
been practicing yoga since 1990 and received her first teacher’s certification
under the tutelage of Rajana Pallana, one of the first teachers of yoga in the
Dallas area. She furthered her teacher training through the Yoga Institute of
Houston.As she continued her training it seemed natural to move to a more
therapeutic style and she began teaching at the Colleyville Family Medicine
clinic and went on to receive her Yoga Therapy certification from Integrative
Yoga Therapy. She has followed that training by moving her practice to
Destination HealthTM in Southlake Texas and continues her
training with some of the best teachers in the country including, but not
limited to, Paula Weithman, a certified Iyengar teacher who she’s studied with
for more than ten years. Other teachers have included, in the Iyengar style,
Kofi Bushia, Joan White, Ramanand Patel, Dean Lerner, Mary Obendorfer, Rita
Manos, Stephanie Quark (specifically teacher training, Gabrielle Grubillano and
Roger Cole (primarily for the anatomy of the poses). She has also worked with
Gary Kraft sow, Angela Farmer, Shiva Rea, Tisa Little and Erich Schiffman.
However, her practice has always been her primary teacher and continues to be
so.
Her style
is sensitive and intuitive as she feels into every client’s pain and uses her
knowledge and training to understand and apply the practices of yoga to
alleviate pain, both mental and physical. Her classes are small for those who
need attention but may not need one-on-one attention. |
