Gerry
McDonald, RYT found her first Iyengar teacher,
Joan White, in 1982 and knew immediately that this was
the system
she’d been looking for. She has been instrumental in creating an enthusiastic Iyengar
community in the Capital district. Gerry’s greatest
satisfaction in teaching comes in cultivating her student’s
awareness of the inner actions within the stillness of each
pose and
observing the evolution of their experience of this
wonderful art and science. She is grateful to yoga for the
deep personal pleasure she derives from her practice and
for the wonderful community it has placed her in
