When Deb Nam-Krane encountered Yoga at the age of 14, it was true love. She had hated gym class as a child and was the stereotypical "last one picked for dodgeball," but Yoga was perfect for her. As an adult, she discovered the elegant and efficient system of Pilates and fell in love all over again as it quickly worked its magic on her.

A vegetarian since the age of 16, Deb is a recent convert to veganism and loves to bake. She also loves to talk politics, history, and economics. She was previously an SAT/GMAT tutor and later worked in the corporate world as an applications developer. But she found that teaching was much more fun! She finds it almost as rewarding as being a mom to her 4 children.

Deb has been certified by The Yoga Studio to teach Yoga and by Physical Mind to teach Mat and Standing Pilates since 2003. She taught Yoga and Pilates at Curtis Hall Community Center for one and a half years. She has also been teaching at Fitness Etcetera in West Roxbury since 2003, where her Yoga and Pilates class is one of their most popular offerings.
