Gina Saka

Yogaview-division, Namaskar, & Equinox- 900 N Michigan & Lincoln Park

Gina took her first yoga class 11 years ago in a gym thanks to a persistent friend. It was the best thing I’d ever experienced in my life and what I will never forget is the spiritual awakening that I had in savasana. It was not only magical but it was the beginning of my yoga path and a life long transformation. Gina completed the Yogaview Teacher Training, 2009 under the loving guidance of her teachers, Tom Quinn, Quinn Kearney, Claire Mark and Geri Blier and she is also a graduate of the Temple of Kriya Yoga’s Teacher Training, 2007 under the loving guidance of ordained Swami Mary Samano. Gina has also studied with Paul Weitz , Seane Corn, Natasha Rizopoulos, Ana Forrest, and Kino MacGregor. Her lifelong ever evolving practice continues to grow and flourish under the guidance of many of her teachers including Daylene Christensen. Gina is also a certified and licensed massage therapist since 1999, certified advanced Thai Therapist and Zen Shiatsu Therapist and currently adjusting in her teacher's class on Tuesday's at Yogaview.
As a teacher Gina is grateful to pass her love of yoga onto her students inspiring them to find and embrace the sacred space within their practice, to connect with and express to their greatest potential and gain greater body awareness for optimal health.
