Jutta Simmons

Almost 30 years now, I have been on that journey connecting all over the world with the Yoga Tribe People, it's been such a joy and blessing and honor. I have deep gratitude for all my teachers, Kate Potter, who was there when my first daughter was birthed into the light, 20 years ago.

Shakti (Ifat), who inspired me so much, gave me the courage to become a yoga teacher in 1999. She gave me a good foundation in Hatha Yoga and Power Yoga. Shiva Rea added on the playfulness on how to move your body with ease and fluidity. Pattabhi Jois and David Swenson gave me the strength and discipline in the Ashtanga Tradition. With Gioia I explored the body mechanics. Paul Grilley showed me how to stay in asana and how to ease pain away in the Yin Yoga Tradition. In 2005 I traveled to India to meet my teacher Manu, and he opened me to yoga on a very deep and spiritual level through Meditation.

Then, a few years ago I went to my first Anusara Yoga class with Elissa, it was like love at first side. I love the Anusara Philosophy and Principles. Opening to Grace, my heart was connecting profoundly with the Divine, and it all came together for me. This year in March `08, I was very lucky to be able to travel to Costa Rica and practice with the founder of Anusara Yoga, John Friend. He taught me how to practice, how to align our bodies and minds with Divine Nature, which is pure positive bliss.

I am so grateful. I studied with Desiree Rumbaugh, a senior certified Yoga Teacher, September `08 in Vancouver, and she is my newest Inspiration to be as authentic and truthful in my teaching as I am, to inspire others to share and to give in the Love and Joy for Yoga.

Shanti Shanti Shanti
