Sashas' yoga practice deepened after a volunteer mission to India to research the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 2006. She found yogic philosophy was alive everywhere she looked on the sub-continent, and used yoga as a path to healing when she returned home. She is now certified at the 200 hr. level, with additional trainings in Kundalini, YHot and Vinyasa.

A lover of music, she incorporates mantra and sound-current to every class, and hopes each student leaves her classes with a happy body, mind and spirit! Read the profile >>
