Judy Blank was introduced to yoga more than two decades ago, but at first didn’t fully appreciate its unique appeal. In 2000, she began to practice in earnest and was blown away. After a lifetime in sports, yoga has helped her achieve greater physical strength and flexibility. But it was her discovery of the mind-body connection that made her yoga experience transformative and meaningful. She completed her teacher training at Firehouse Yoga and hopes to help students enjoy the many benefits of yoga.

 

tiffany Originally from Iowa, Tiffany Deal moved to Boston to earn her MSW after receiving her BA at the University of Iowa. After practicing social work in Boston and Denver, she moved back to Iowa where she established her Independent Social Work license. In addition to being a clinical Social Worker since 1998, Tiffany has completed an intensive training program to become a practicing life coach and is continuing her education in this field. Because the main theoretical perspectives from which Tiffany practices are the Strengths Perspective and Positive Psychology, she works from the belief that each person has numerous values and strengths that are unique and meaningful. Tiffany believes that since the coach's only agenda is your agenda, coaching can be a wonderful support when making life transitions, (such as choosing an education or career path),finding ways to move towards your goals, learning to utilize the tools that you already have, and most importantly, feeling empowered to do so!
