She continued teaching in Maine, offering classes at Ebb and Flow in Bath, and Maine Hatha Yoga in South Portland.

Whether in the yoga studio or music room, Judy’s approach is rooted in discipline, compassion, and a deep love for the healing power of movement and sound.
Susan Gallagher, 200hr CYT
I’ve been living in Midcoast Maine since 1985 and practicing yoga since 2011. Yoga helped me heal after years of chronic lower back pain and major surgery. After three years of practice, I enrolled in a 200-hour teacher training program and received my certification in 2014. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and enjoy gardening, sewing, and cooking. What draws me to my mat is the heightened awareness and self-forgiveness that yoga fosters. My personal philosophy is that “we are one,” and I believe everyone—regardless of where they’re from, their age, shape, or personal beliefs—should have the opportunity to experience the blessing of self-discovery through yoga.
