I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to practice yoga and photography every day. The two disciplines are closely tied together by clear perception, moment to moment awareness, and a recognition that life is happening now.
After moving to New York from Nebraska in 1999, I turned to yoga for stability and solace. Today my yoga practice is inspired by the alignment and precision of Iyengar yoga, combined with a meditative union of movement and breath. My yoga classes are both physically challenging and quietly introspective.

My photography is inspired by the ties between person and place. I strive to make portraits that are heavily influenced by environment, and the spirit of the people in the frame drives my environmental and event work. A lover of street photography and a passionate New Yorker, I draw upon the rich diversity of the New York City landscape and the people within it.
Through teaching yoga I have been blessed with the gift of travel. My blog gives me an outlet to share the ways in which travel around the world has enriched my life. Look for updates here: yogarally.blogspot.com
