About Absolute Yoga

We are pleased to introduce you to our team of instructors:

	Barbara Burgis began her journey into Yoga in 1996, seeing immediate benefits even after the actual workout. "Yoga teaches you to be more comfortable with the real you" she says. Yoga changed her perception of life and taught her how to work with what she has and make it the best it can be through a connection with her new balanced self. When she realized how much Yoga helped her, she wanted to share that gift by teaching. Barbara earned her certification as a Yoga instructor in 2006 and appreciates every opportunity to pass along the gift and benefits of Yoga to students who are new to this art.
	Jeanne Van Eyk BSN, RYT and is a Certified Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. Jeanne also holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing with over 25 years experience in the medical field. She received her Yoga certification from Florida's premier Teacher Training program at the Yoga Center at Deerfield Beach, Florida. Jeanne's extensive knowledge of the body enhances her ability to teach students at all levels and of all ages. Jeanne's teaching of Hatha Yoga encompasses all aspects of the eight limbs of yoga thereby providing an opportunity for the student to truly experience the inward journey to Self awareness and oneness of body, mind and spirit. Her fluid teaching style is clear and precise with a focus on alignment in asana practice, while using the breath to connect with the body and mind.
	Danette Joy began her yoga practice as a teenager over 15 years ago when she developed a yearning to learn more. She was led to yoga as a way to complement her meditation practice and became a firm believer in the mind-body connection. Her love of yoga blessed her with the opportunity to study with Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga, Sri Pattabhi Jois, and most recently, completing her yoga teacher’s training with certified Iyengar Yoga instructor Bobbi Goldin at The Yoga Institute of Miami. Iyengar style Hatha Yoga focuses on proper form, alignment and movement. Her classes are a fusion of slow flowing movement and careful attention to poses mixed with lively music and a fresh, light-hearted approach to learning the fundamentals of asanas. By encouraging students to trust in their bodies, she empowers them to have a healthy, safe and positive experience. She is dedicated to supporting all of her students in their personal journey with yoga. Danette is most passionate about helping others live a life full of joy!
	Kristen Ujazdowski is a serious advocate of reducing stress by incorporating Yoga into an everyday lifestyle. Since 2001, Kristen has practiced various forms of Yoga to keep physically and mentally healthy through the demands of "Corporate America." Because it has been so beneficial in her life, she pays it forward with local businesses, developing programs to bring Yoga to their workplaces. Teaching Yoga in schools is another focus for Kristen. The tools Yoga provides for kids will help them combat stress before they even enter the working world. Yoga has improved her golf scores as well. There are so many benefits that Kristen genuinely wants to introduce Yoga to as many lives as possible, encouraging an inner happiness for us all.
