Nancy McCaochan

In 2001, Nancy McCaochan left southeastern Ohio and full time college teaching for metro-Detroit to deepen her yoga. She’s explored many traditions from Kripalu to Kundalini. However, she considers herself “Krisnamacharya’s child" in that her primary influences have been the teachings of his lineage: Iyengar, Asthanga, Desikachar, and Anusara. In addition to yoga, Nancy practices Vipassana, a type of Buddhist mindfulness meditation, and Shamanism, a healing modality that originated in tribal societies. Her teaching integrates postural integrity, energetic flow, nature imagery, and witness consciousness. Her personal practice investigates the chakras and becoming aware, through them, of the ever-present spirit world. Current professional projects include teaching yoga at the wall and Shamanasana, a fusion of shamanism and yoga. Nancy has 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren.
