Darcy Renda

Darcy has studied Iyengar yoga since 2002 with her primary teacher Jane Carlsen and other instructors at Julie Lawrence Yoga (the BKS Iyengar Center of Portland). She continues her studies with Jane as well as participating regularly in workshops with Senior Iyengar teachers.

Darcy approaches yoga from an interest in psychology and self-healing. Her classes provide students with opportunities for experimentation and observation. With detailed instructions and gentle humor, Darcy helps her students increase mind and body awareness. It is her goal to support students in developing practical tools to live more peacefully and purposefully.

Darcy was born in Wisconsin, raised in Oregon, and has a B.A. in Business Administration. She worked in the legal field before leaving the traditional work force to become a mom.
