Contractural Instructor Jean Cotner has taught Hatha Yoga with the City since the birth of our recreation class programs in 1972. Jean began teaching Yoga in 1968, after a friend sug- gested she attend some classes in hopes of alleviating the discomforts of arthritis. After seeing the improvement in her own health, she decided to help others. She was asked to substitute for her teacher, and thus began her career. She received formal training and a teaching certificate from Yoga instructor, Indra Devi, in the 1970's. She also trains others to teach Yoga. Jean's Yoga career began in 1968 when she started conducting classes for the Unitarian Church in Anaheim.
