In the midst of a successful career, YogaCrossroads owner Deborah Gullo made a decision to return to the path of yoga, initially to alleviate anxiety and stress in her own life. Deborah arrived at a crossroads of opportunity, empowering her to share her love of yoga as a teacher and yoga therapist; in late 2007, YogaCrossroads was born.
A certified yoga teacher (CYT), Deborah received her training at the Temple of Kriya Yoga based in Chicago, where she now serves as an advisor to yoga teachers-in-training. She maintains registry with Yoga Alliance as an experienced teacher (E-RYT), and is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists - IAYT. With a commitment to continued personal growth and learning, Deborah pursues ongoing yoga and meditation studies; attends teaching workshops with her beloved teacher, Kim; and has completed a home-study course in the basics of Ayurveda (sister science to yoga) through the Ayurvedic Institute of Albuquerque where she is a member.
As a yogini who believes in seva (service) and giving back to the community: Deborah serves on the board of directors for the Placitas Artists Series; teaches yoga at Haven House shelter for victims of domestic violence; is an international services facilitator for the American Red Cross in Washington DC; and is an active Rotarian (Rio Rancho Sunrise club).
Deborah shares her life and love with husband Sal - best friend and designer/builder of YogaCrossroads studio. Together they have a son, Darin, daughter-in-love Amy, and two beautiful granddaughters, Emily and Mackenzie.
