Rebecca Faye Northrop

I am a lifelong student of yoga, beginning as a child practicing with my mother; I have been teaching since 2002. I believe yoga offers simple, practical wisdom that can radically enhance our day to day lives in mind and body. Yoga can also aid us in throwing the doors of perception wide open beyond our mind’s chatter.

I have a professional dance background, with classical training in ballet, and went on to focus on percussive and folk dance, touring for a handful of years with Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble. I’m also known to occasionally play old-time banjo:)

My classes all focus on physical alignment in asana (the poses), pranayama practices (the breath), and meditation. I have a foundation in Iyengar Yoga and completed my yoga teacher training while in residence at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. My personal practice focuses on meditation and pranayama with my asana practice mostly based on Ashtanga (which I rarely teach anymore). I am currently an Ayurvedic Health Counselor student of Myra Lewin’s at Hale Pule.

In the rest of my life, I work for an amazing certified organic farm in Cecil County, Flying Plow Farm & CSA, and enjoy spending my time in the kitchen preparing yummy, wholesome foods from the amazing wealth of farmers and food producers our area has to offer.
