I want to engage my students with the idea of having a strong body, sound mind, and open heart.
- General Info
- I'm passionate about sharing yoga with others to help them relieve pain and live more joyfully. My students learn good alignment, healthy breathing techniques, and how to relax. They also develop a greater awareness of the body-mind connection. In my classes, we laugh, open our bodies, and find peace and rest.

In May I learned I had osteoporosis in my lumbar spine at the same time my husband and I left our home in South Florida for our annual trip North on our boat for the summer months. I knew exercise was important for my bones but at the same time I was frightened that I would injure myself if I overdid the pressure on my back.
Yoga has always been an important part of my life, so I decided to seek the advice and instruction of a yoga therapist. Fortunately for me, I found Colleen Palmateer of New Spirit Yoga. In three sessions, Colleen assessed my situation, developed a series of asanas that emphasized bone and muscle building, worked with me to see that I did the movements properly and provided me with a written plan so I could do them on my own. She was very clear in describing how each asana needed to be set up and executed, as well as how to come out of each pose. I immediately felt reassured that I could continue to practice yoga with the proper poses and reap the benefits for my body, my spine and my spirit. Colleen is a great teacher and therapist, very loving and gentle in her manner, knowledgeable in her field, and encouraging in instilling confidence.
