Rose Kress

Rose Kress, ERYT-500, C-IATY, YACEP, is an author and owner and director of LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute.  She has been practicing yoga since 1994 and began teaching from her heart in 2004. Her journey through the constrictions of physical pain and mental afflictions led her to LifeForce Yoga in 2002. Since that time, Rose’s driving force is to support people in using yoga, meditation, and everyday magic to heal themselves. She distills yogic truths and the wisdom of her teachers, Amy Weintraub, Maria Mendola, and Rama Jyoti Vernon, into their basic essence for ease of practical application in life. Rose’s work includes the book Awakening Your Inner Radiance with LifeForce Yoga, multiple CDs, videos, and the popular Best Practices series on LifeForce Yoga for Mental Health. She is faculty on the Pacific Yew Yoga teacher training course and teaches in her home of Lebanon, Oregon..
