After a history of epilepsy as a teenager and being diagnosed with an incurable kidney disease at the age of 21, Debra decided to settle on a lifestyle conducive to better health and well-being. In 1996, she discovered yoga and has been studying ever since. “Yoga, above all, is designed to facilitate healing.”

Debra teaches Kripalu, Vinyasa, and Hatha Yoga in the Mercer County area. She has created a yoga program for breast cancer survivors, which she has taught at the Breast Cancer Resource Center in Princeton, and was featured on Princeton's TV30, Spanda Yoga. As a caregiver for her husband, a 3-time survivor of an aggressive blood cancer, Debra found that yoga enabled her to cope with the uncertainties and stresses forced upon them during his different cancer therapies.

Debra is an experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT) with the Yoga Alliance and is registered as a Kripalu Yoga instructor through the Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association (KYTA). She has completed additional teacher trainings in both Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga with Shiva Rea, Sarah Powers, and Paul Grilley.

She continues to practice Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga daily, under the guidance of her teacher, Donna Feiner. She also studies Ashtanga Yoga with master teachers such as Manju Jois, David Swenson, David Williams, and Danny Paradise as often as possible.

Her classes encourage students to be guided from within and to practice with compassion and self-awareness. Debra's love for yoga is reflected in her joy for teaching.
