River began her yoga studies at the age of 20 when, due to a teenage career in horse jumping, her increasing pain and residual structural stress prompted healing intervention. Over her 17 years in the field, she has been privileged to study yoga under world-renowned teachers and lamas in the U.S., India and Tibet.
Through yoga River has helped herself and many others regain health and a passion for life. The intelligence, humor, curiosity and compassion she brings to her teaching reveal a true love of yoga. River offers private yoga therapy sessions as well as yoga instructor trainings, workshops, retreats and group classes throughout the Americas and in Europe. She also serves as Director of Education for YogaAway.
