Debbie's Last Class: Monday March 16th

Join us on Monday, March 16 to celebrate with Debbie Daly during her last class before moving to California. She has taught this class for six years, as one of the original classes back when there were only 5 classes a week and two teachers. Debbie built Tucson Yoga from the ground up into an exemplary, socially-conscious business. This will be a farewell celebration, with a live music performance during savasana, and photos being taken during class.
Debbie plans to return to Tucson regularly. Her family is based here and she looks forward to being able to teach courses and workshops when she returns.
Tucson Yoga's operations will be left in the capable hands of Joanna Carichner, our new Studio Director as of April 1st. More info about our new director
Debbie is moving to West Marin county, CA, where her goal is to live more simply, work less, and live closer to nature. She looks forward to her proximity to Spirit Rock Meditation Center and other excellent healing opportunities in Marin.

A superb organizer, teacher, retreat coordinator, and bodyworker, Joanna is well-loved by our staff and student community, and the studio will be in excellent hands under her direction.
Debbie and her partner Tim Weed have found their heart's home in northern California, and Debbie will join Tim there at the end of the month. She'll continue supporting the studio in an advisory role as our Business Manager, and she plans to return to Tucson frequently.
