Meet Your Roll Model® Method Instructor: Dawn Adams

Dawn has been practicing yoga since the mid-1990s. She took her

first class at the Alameda Yoga Station in 1996 and has since

studied under experienced teachers such as Sandy Blaine, JoAnn

Lyons, and Donald Moyer. Dawn graduated from Advanced

Studies Program at the Yoga Room in Berkeley in 2009 and she

continues to deepen her personal practice. Yoga has become an

integral part of her life, especially because of its nurturing and centering aspects. Through practicing yoga, she has found that undoing is just as important as doing. In her teaching, she hopes to instill a sense of adventure and exploration of yoga, with a focus on finding balance and joy through practice. Most recently, Dawn found Yoga Tune Up® and, fascinated by the functional approach to movement, completed the YTU Level 1 Certification.

She is excited to share her unique approach to practice with the Anchorage community!
