Muriel Quinn
I came to yoga seeking healing from physical injury.
With a dedicated practice, I traded weekly trips to healthcare
providers for yoga classes. I continue to have an active personal practice and am an enthusiastic learner of the eight limbs of yoga.
My teaching focuses on breathing and physical alignment in
a noncompetitive atmosphere. I believe that everyone will
benefit from a yoga practice and I offer modifications and hands-on
adjustments to my students.
My educational background includes:
an AM in Social Service Administration (MSW) from the University of Chicago
and an MA in Divinity from Catholic Theological Union.
I studied Hatha Yoga at The Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago
and also in the Anusara lineage.
Mary Samano was my first yoga teacher.
I studied privately under her guidance for many years.
Jim Bennitt's Tantric Hatha influences my teaching,
as does the playful yoga of Sarah Starnes,
and a depth of knowledge learned from Gabriel Halpern.
My practice continues to evolve
with the grace and wisdom of Sally Kempton.
Oak Park, Il is my home, where I live with my husband.
We have four children, a dog and backyard chickens.
I offer several yoga retreats a year at
Casa de la Diosa
in San MIguel de Allende, Mexico.
