Risa

Risa discovered yoga 15 years ago while living in New York City. Yoga, along with her love of movement and dance, has helped Risa through so many transitions in life. It has helped her combat stress, anxiety, and even panic. She practiced on and off for several years, and even when Life pulled her away from a regular practice, something kept drawing her back to it. In 2009, she received her 200-hour Teacher Training Certificate from LivYoga. She has also attended workshops with Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee, Cyndi Lee and Gurmukh Kaur Kalsa. She recently completed a Kid’s Yoga Teacher Training Workshop through Neney’s Yoginis. Risa holds a BA in Theatre from Brooklyn College, as well as a degree in graphic design from Parsons School of Design in NYC. She currently works as a freelance graphic designer. In her spare time, she is the mother of two (very active boys!)  Risa feels truly blessed to finally have the opportunity to share the bliss that is yoga with adults and children alike.
