About Ingrid
Ingrid embarked upon her yoga journey in 1999 in New York City after multiple injuries from long distance running. She soon discovered that the healing powers of yoga extend beyond the asana practice and now finds the balance of running and yoga to be her most therapeutic expression of energy and movement. With over a decade of yoga teaching experience, Ingrid has lead workshops and teacher trainings all over world. She holds certifications from the styles of Sivananda, Jivamukti and OM yoga.
Ingrid teaches a wide spectrum of workshops, including restorative, runner's, athlete's and cancer therapy yoga, Yinki® and leads 200 and 500-hour teacher trainings, including a specialized Yoga for Cancer Recovery teacher training. Her clientele span from professional and Olympic athletes to students working with handicaps or illness. She is also the co-author of Hatha Yoga Asanas published by Human Kinetics in January 2012.
As well as teaching yoga, Ingrid is currently a medical student in Chicago, IL. In her past careers spanning over a decade, she has been an intellectual property attorney, venture capitalist, business consultant, jazz lounge singer in Australia, and founder and owner of Blue Point Yoga Center in Durham, NC.
Ingrid's classes are upbeat and energetic, incorporating a vigorous vinyasa flow with dharma teaching and a strong understanding of human physiology. She seeks to offer each student a deep awareness of his/her personal capabilities and bodies, respecting its limits with compassion and ahimsa. With a strong emphasis on alignment, Ingrid's background in Iyengar brings a thoughtfulness to her teaching, yet she seeks to maintain a lightness and humor in class that encourages a wakefulness in daily life. She believes in listening to our own bodies' wisdom, while freeing its energy with the fluidity of Vinyasa flow movement. Ingrid has personally witnessed the healing powers of yoga in herself and her students, and she considers herself lucky to share the gift of yoga with others.
