About Desiree: Desiree Rumbaugh teaches from the experiences of more than two decades of practice. She was one of the first students to study with John Friend, and one of the first to be certified in his Anusara method of yoga. As a full-time teacher, Desiree travels the world offering workshops, which are innovative and transformative, challenging and compassionate.

She has a well-earned reputation for deepening the most new to the most seasoned practices, through humor balanced with a quest for authenticity. September 2007 marked the release of her first DVD entitled Yoga to the Rescue, which is specially designed for those who have avoided yoga because of a lack of flexibility, low fitness level or chronic pain. Her newest DVD entitled Yoga to the Rescue for Back Pain was released in January 2008 with wide acclaim. Desiree is also a contributor to various organizations and publications, including the Yoga Journal, where she was featured on the February 2008 cover.

"Desiree 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." — John Friend (Founder of Anusara Yoga)
