Aileen has been a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher since 1983. She has traveled to India on numerous occasions to study directly with the Iyengar family. Aileen has taught classes and workshops in Tel Aviv, London, Los Angeles, Utah, and Las Vegas, including for the Community College (CCSN) and the University (UNLV).  Mother of three children, Aileen studied with the Iyengars while pregnant. She used her unique knowledge and training to develop the pre-natal/post natal program for the prestigious BKS Iyengar Yoga Institute in Los Angeles. Also having suffered from upper respiratory illness for many years, Aileen enjoys using yoga as a way to help people overcome and prevent health problems. Since moving to Las Vegas in 1992, she founded and currently serves as President of the BKS Iyengar Yoga Association of Southern Nevada. Since it is Aileen's desire to provide the people in her community with professional instruction and a state-of-the-art facility in which to practice and learn yoga, she has recently opened the centrally located BKS Iyengar Yoga Center of Las Vegas with her partner, Stephen Salkin-Krucker.
