ABOUT ME:
I have always felt in tune with everything around me. I felt as though I was tapped into the vibration of life but didn't quite understand it until I came across yoga. I discovered yoga in 2003 via my employer at the time. It was a revelatory experience that I continued to revisit. It became apparent that it was needed to maintain balance in my hectic New York City life. So after 10 years of off and on practicing, I decided to sign up for yoga teacher training. It changed my life. After completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2014, I pursued and completed my 300 hour advanced training with Laughing Lotus in 2017. I continued my studies with some of the best teachers in the world.- attending advanced trainings, workshops and apprenticeship programs. I am trained to teach - vinyasa, power, lotus flow™, yin and restorative yoga. I have had the honor to have taught in some of the best studios in New York City.
The practice I share and teach is reflective of how I like to live and move. I like to explore boundaries but with strength, structure, stability and a little wit. I enjoy testing my level of true presence. To me, nothing brings more satisfaction than putting in maximum effort and receiving the rewards of that effort. I have acquired many techniques and lessons from yoga and as a result I feel compelled to share these techniques with my students in hope that it can help them in their daily lives. My classes are alignment focused and breath leveraging to carry you through both your practice and your daily life. I will challenge you when you need to be challenged and I will help you let go of what doesn't serve you both physically and mentally. We will breathe, move, sweat and pray together into stillness.
I never intended on actually teaching yoga after signing up for yoga teacher training and yet here we are. I'm so very grateful for this practice and even more so that I get to share it with my students. I look forward to seeing you on the mat.
Much much shanti, much much peace -
Rosa
