Accreditations in Yoga:

1.  American Fitness and Aerobic Assn.  (national) "Hatha Yoga"  two times (4 years apart)

2.  Fitness Resources Associates  (FRA)  6 month-long Viniyoga accreditation that included practical exams/reading/learning asanas in Sanskrit/daily journaling and practice. Viniyoga is a one-on-one therapeutic form of vinyasa yoga.

         Prefered style of yoga:   Vinyasa

 I believe that practicing yoga strengthens three disciplines:  stretching, endurance and balance.  All three are enhanced by optional abdominal breathing.
