I have taught yoga/movement for over 38 years, beginning at the University of Wisconsin where I earned a BS degree (with honors) in Psychology/Movement Therapy. Recently I am inspired by my teacher training which has taken me to Australia twice, New Jersey, New York City , Dubuque, Iowa and this fall Madison, Wisconsin. I train Yin and Mindfulness practice to people who want to deepen their Yin practice and offer it to specialty groups in their communities or in yoga studios. I have also be a workshop presenter at all the Bhakti Fests since 2012.

Always a student, I have logged thousands of hours under the original greats: Dharma Mittra, Swami Bua, Yogi Bhajan, Alan Finger, Bikram, Iyengar Institutes’ LA /NYC, Paul Grilley. I am most recently inspired by Saul David Raye, Ashley Turner, Rolf Gates, Theresa Murphy, Sarah Powers and Mark Whitwell.
 A move to Los Angeles for acting/modeling found myself immersed in the Hollywood scene in the late 70’s, running between acting jobs, and hob-knobbing with the glitterati of the era, inevitably arriving onto the carpet (no mats invented yet) in the steamy 105 degree room at “Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class." From that moment on yoga became the path. I have taught Bikram Yoga for 38 years.

Currently Senior Teacher (12 years) at Inner Fire Yoga, Madison, WI., I travel nationally and internationally presenting Bikram, Vinyasa, Teacher Trainings, Yin Aroma, and Chakra workshops. I have taught over 9,000 yoga classes! My company YogaLove LLC has a scent collection called GoodScents which are scenti-licious aerosols and foot rubs used in my workshops and classes. Dar has recently registered as a  certified continuing education teacher with yoga alliance and has been upgraded to a 200 E-RYT.
