Debbie Lutzky Allen of Jamesport, Missouri received her accreditation in August of 2015 as a Certified Yoga Teacher at the 500 hour level from the Yoga School of Therapeutics in Overland Park, Kansas. “It has been a long but very fulfilling journey,” said Debbie. who has been practicing yoga for over 18 years and teaching yoga since 2008.. “In 1999, Alice Dobbs began sharing Yoga with a very informal group of us in Jamesport. We would get together once a week and practice yoga. Sue Leach joined us when she moved to Jamesport. We were thrilled to learn that she was an experienced Yoga Teacher. Sue opened the Jamesport Yoga Studio and my real Yoga education began. She was an excellent teacher and I try to mirror what I learned from her in my style of teaching. She was focused on the students and their needs, not on just showing what she could do.”
When Sue Leach sold the studio and moved away, Debbie was asked to teach the Beginning Yoga Class by the new studio owner, David Schafer. Over the years, Debbie taught more classes at Jamesport Yoga. “When I took over teaching the Restorative Yoga and Gentle Yoga classes after Jamie Morton moved away, I realized that I needed to learn a lot more about the Therapeutic side of Yoga.” said Debbie. “Students would come to me for help with their sciatica, or a stiff neck, or ankle problems. I knew the basics of teaching, but I wanted to learn more!”
Teacher training at the Yoga School of Therapeutics was the answer. For over a year, once or twice a week, Debbie drove 100 miles each way to learn more about Iyengar Yoga, a style of yoga that builds strength, stamina and flexibility through focus on body alignment. “People tell me that they can’t do yoga because they can’t stand on one leg and twist like a pretzel. That doesn’t matter. I can’t do that either! This style of yoga uses props (chairs, bolsters, straps and blocks) to help you move and balance in comfort and confidence. As a teacher, I work with students from their personal starting level. For some students, being able to lie down on the floor and get back up again is a major accomplishment!”
Jamesport Yoga closed in 2015. “It was a wonderful studio and I am very grateful to Sue and David for all that I have learned. It’s also very exciting to be pushed out of the nest to create my own yoga business. I’ve worked too hard to get this certification to stop now!” said Debbie. She keeps her yoga training up to date by taking yoga workshops at studios in Kansas City.
Debbie is now teaching Yoga in Gallatin and Trenton, offering classes in Basic Yoga, Restorative and “Gentle” Yoga. “There are so many possibilities! I am trained to work with people with various levels of flexibility and strength. I really enjoy helping people discover ways to release tension and chronic pain. I am very open to suggestions about places to teach and groups to work with.”
Local residents may know of Debbie Lutzky Allen as owner of Parasol Puppets, a business she shares with husband Peter Allen. “You may also have heard me on the radio or read my newspaper column during the 12 years I publicized for the Green Hills Animal Shelter. You might have attended a puppet performance at PuppetFest Midwest, a puppet festival in Trenton that Peter and I ran for 10 years. I hope that you will enjoy taking one of my yoga classes in the near future.”
