Besides enjoying her travels and meeting new friends, Desirée is blessed
to have a strong local group of friends that she practices with on
Tuesdays and Thursdays in Scottsdale, AZ
Established in 1998, this group practice is regularly attended by
intermediate and advanced students and teachers from many local
area studios. Using John Friend's Eye of the Tiger sequence, this
group, which ranges in age from 25-62 are seriously playful and
very committed to their practice and their friendships. Students from
around the world occasionally drop in to join in the fun.
Experienced students are always welcome. The three-hour
practice is not recommended for beginners.
She dedicates all of her teaching to her two children, her daughter,
Jessica and her late son, Brandon, "thank you for teaching me how to
love."
"Desirée Rumbaugh is a true treasure of a yoga
instructor. The combination of an exceptionally beautiful yoga
practice, highly creative instructions, and vibrantly charismatic
personality make her one of the top yoga instructors in the U.S."
