Gail Ackerman is the owner/director of White Iris Yoga. She has been teaching and inspiring the students of Santa Fe for over 20 years. She is certified at the Intermediate Jr. level and is currently serving on the National Board of IYNAUS (Iyengar Yoga National Assoc. of the US). She continues to study with the Iyengar's in Pune, India. She also trains with and sponsors Senior teachers in this country. She was first drawn to the practice of yoga in her early teens to address chronic headaches and physical discomfort. At 24, she was diagnosed with scoliosis of the spine, which has been greatly relieved and improved with a regular yoga practice.

Because of her own personal experience, she has a compassionate approach to teaching others and to helping all students with their personal physical challenges. Her teaching incorporates respect for each individual and invites all students to move deeper within to find their own inner guidance and to more fully understand their bodies and the innate wisdom therein.
