About Holly

Holly Walck has been a student of Yoga since 1997 and teaching in the Lehigh Valley since 2002. In 2004, she founded Jai Yoga! in Bethlehem with the intention of sharing the practice of Iyengar Yoga with her community. She currently holds a Junior Intermediate I certificate.

Holly studies regularly at classes, workshops and teacher training with Patricia Walden of Cambridge, MA. From 2005-2009, she apprenticed with and assisted Joan White at the BKS Iyengar Yoga School of Central Philadelphia. Holly has had the good fortune to study directly with BKS Iyengar and Geeta Iyengar in the US, Canada, China and India at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.

Her deep dedication to her own practice inspires and informs her teaching, which is clear, compassionate and steeped in philosophy. Her Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and special interest in anatomy and physiology give her the unique ability to see her students from a place of wholeness.

For Holly, Yoga is a path of transformation and absolute freedom that has far-reaching effects beyond the limits of the physical body. It is her intention to share with her students how Yoga reveals the infinite source of health and joy within.

"In the practice of Yoga no effort is ever lost,
nor is any loss of progress found.
Even a little of this discipline
protects one from great danger (Bhagavad Gita, Chpt. II, v. 40)."

"Fixed in Yoga, perform your duty
having abadonded attachment to the fruits of your labor
and becoming indifferent to success or failure.
This eveness of mind is Yoga (Bhagavad Gita, Chpt. II, v. 48)."

"Like the ocean, which becomes filled
yet remains unmoved and stands still
as the waters enter it,
one in whom all desires enter and remains unmoved
attains peace (Bhagavad Gita, Chpt. II, v. 70)."
