Deanna Cerrone, RYT

Deanna Cerrone began her yoga journey in 1992.  She had always been committed to keeping her body physically fit and had participated in dance and conditioning in a gym setting to maintain her fitness.  However, she felt that there was something missing in her workouts.  She wanted a more holistic lifestyle and to reduce stress and incorporate peace in her life.  Her career at that time was as a Tour Escort and involved traveling the world, which she loved, but also included the stress of caring for and meeting the expectations of groups of tourists.

She discovered yoga in 1992, while living in Rhode Island.  The peace and power that her yoga practice gave her, led her to study and take workshops at the nearby Kripalu Yoga Center.  The change that yoga made in her life led her to want to share yoga with others, so she completed her RYT 200 in 1998.  She has been teaching since then. 

Deanna says that yoga, while keeping her fit, also gave her peace, patience, and mental clarity that she had never known.  She feels that she has a freedom and spaciousness in her life that was missing before, and she hopes to help her students to experience this along with the physical benefits of yoga.
