About Village Yoga and Nancy Norman
Village Yoga
is owned and taught by Nancy Norman, a
professional-level certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor since 1995. Nancy believes that (re)discovering
"new" territory within the self leads to a larger experience of
life. In all of her classes and workshops, her intention is to
create and hold a safe and inspiring space in which to explore
and expand the Self.
Nancy’s passion is teaching. A high school English teacher for
30 years and a New York State Teacher of Excellence, she began
teaching yoga to faculty and staff in Smithtown School District
in 1995. Having earned her Kripalu Yoga Teacher Certification in
1995, she continued (and continues) her inquiry and study of
yoga leading to her 500-hour, professional level Kripalu
certification.
Besides teaching in the Graduate School of Education at Dowling
College, Nancy has developed and taught many workshops,
including a SCOPE course weaving yoga, writing and psychology in
Writing from the Core, Releasing Stress through Yoga,
Understanding the Chakra System, Breathing Techniques to Enhance
the Quality of Life, The Art of Excellent Listening, Pranayama
and Yoga as Meditation Practices. Some of the many organizations
for which she has led presentations include the Critical
Incident Response Team of Suffolk County Probation Officers,
Suffolk County Girl Scouts, Integrative Health and Healing
Committee of St Charles and Mather Hospitals, Hampton Bays
Superintendent Conference Day, North Shore Hematology/ Oncology
Cancer Survivors Support Group, National Education Assoc. Summer
Leadership Conference, Baha’i Faith Leadership Training.
Since 2003 Nancy has been operating and teaching Village Yoga,
offering three classes a week in the Parish Hall of Christ
Episcopal Church, So. Country Rd., Bellport, as well as, “Yoga
on the Bay” at Mothers Beach in July and August. She also
teaches private clients by appointment.
The hallmarks of Nancy’s teaching are her depth of knowledge and
gentle approach, creating safe and sacred space for each
individual practitioner.
