Teaching Yoga from the Heart


Rosemary teaches her students with a gentle, yet strong touch. She seeks to create the fires of transformation with a physically intense and vigorous flow while simultaneously supporting her students with a warm voice and nourishing energy. She believes the practice can uproot, heal and liberate… and that it can be done with minimal discomfort and a tremendous amount of grace.

Rosemary’s popular DeLoach Vineayard Wine & Yoga retreats have been featured in the New York Times Travel Section, and in Food & Wine Magazine.

Rosemary currently works with various studios in San Francisco, including International Orange, Yoga Works, and Yoga Tree.

She has also led a number of popular yoga retreats in San Francisco and Mexico.

Background

Rosemary’s journey towards becoming a devoted yogi… and eventually, a studio and private yoga instructor… began with the Ashtanga first series taught by famed Ashtanga yoga teacher Tim Miller. Hooked on yoga immediately, Rosemary devoted herself to the mysore practice and studied with Tim extensively. Years later, further exploration guided her to Vinyasa Flow yoga classes where she found the dance of Vinyasa liberating, beautiful, creative, and alive. She then began practicing with an amazing array of teachers within the yoga flow lineage including Max Strom, Dharma Mittra, and Shiva Rea.

After a Yoga Alliance Certification, teacher training with David Swenson, and a myriad of other trainings, she began teaching yoga in 2004.

Private Yoga Instruction

In addition to teaching her weekly yoga classes in San Francisco, Rosemary is a private yoga instructor to numerous private students throughout the Bay Area, with students in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Marin, and beyond.

Rosemary’s students choose to work privately for various reasons, including injury rehabilitation, re-introduction to the practice after a long time away, initial introduction to yoga in a more intimate environment, to deepen an existing yoga practice, and sometimes for the increased scheduling flexibility that private yoga classes can provide. Rosemary works privately in-studio and in your own home, and she can work with you to determine how private sessions may be helpful to you and your practice.
