NO LOTUS

HART SENSEI is a highly spirited and passionate teacher. She is well known for her high energy, impeccable standards, integrity, her sense of humor, loyalty, persistence, patience and effectiveness as an educator, but mostly for her inquisitive mind/heart. She has studied and worked extensively with individuals of all walks of life, in various environments and with organizations such as Bridges for women, halfway houses, schools, prisons, licensed establishments, reputable security companies, and learned reliable skills which have given her the experience needed to prepare her for the reality of living on this planet.

She began practicing YOGA, where she found her home after many years of reflection on LIFE and violence. It is there on the mat, one breath at a time, that she found wholeness and now practices and educates.
