Rebecca Gurholt Sands

The practice of yoga has been a central theme in my life for 20 years, ever since I was introduced to Margaret and Martin Pierce at the Pierce Yoga Program. They were my teachers for many years and Martin guided me through teacher training at their studio. For the past twelve years, I have taught yoga classes on the Emory campus and I am delighted to offer classes at Jai Shanti Yoga as well.

 

My life is a wonderful blend of activities that I feel passionate about. Besides teaching yoga, I have a private practice in Decatur as a psychotherapist, I am married, and mother to a nine-year old daughter, Christina. I am also blessed to have a spiritual teacher with whom I meditate regularly.

 

The practice of yoga has taught me how to listen to my body and to be more gentle and respectful of it. It seems my life is a constant practice both on and off the yoga mat and meditation cushion. The challenge for me continues to be letting go of attachments and accepting life as it present itself, moment to moment. These are the truths that shape who I am as a psychotherapist and a yoga teacher.
