Deborah Keene – Ayurveda Practitioner, Yoga Teacher
I struggled with anxiety, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances for a long time.
I became a yoga teacher back in the 80’s when I realized my yoga practice
was helping me to deal with these struggles and to feel more joy and ease in daily living.
I was first introduced to Ayurveda around that same time and
began incorporating Ayurvedic principles to all of my teachings.
I now know how it feels to be happy, calm, and content within myself
and I am excited to share what I have learned along the way.
Deborah is a graduate of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda and is a Certified Ayurvedic Consultant, A Certified Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist and a RYT500 Yoga Teacher. She has been conducting classes and workshops and has consulted on an individual basis for more than 30 years serving over 1000 people. She appeared in the April 2000 issue of National Geographic Magazine and was chosen to be profiled in the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health Spring 2010 catalog. Deborah is the owner and founder of the Ayurveda Yoga Center located in Liberty, Maine. She is known as a spirited, down to earth teacher who speaks from her heart. She combines her humor, compassion and easy manner in all of her offerings. Her heart-based teachings, which are deeply influenced by nature’s cycles and rhythms, encourage inner listening along with body, mind and spirit practices.
Over the past 34 years I have applied the teachings and practices of Yoga and Ayurveda to my own life.
I have slowly made dietary and lifestyle changes to support my own unique mind/body type.
I have experienced firsthand the differences these changes have made in my mood, the way I look, the way I feel, the energy I have, how I am in the world, and how much more joyful and at peace I am.
I have dedicated most of my life to the studies and practices of India’s healing systems and I continue to feel that it is my life’s purpose to share what I learn along the way. I remain committed to helping others realize their beauty within so they can feel the joy and ease which is their birthright. I am fortunate that I live in a beautiful place surrounded by nature with my children and grandchildren living right near by. I love spending time with my family, being outside, gardening, dancing, hiking, my work, and all things horses.”
