About Ada...

Ada Lusardi creates an inviting environment in her classes and workshops combining expertise, compassion and exacting individual guidance to provide a challenging yet accessible practice for students of all abilities and ages. Based on more than 15 years of meditation and yoga training, and with her extensive knowledge of physiology and anatomy, she guides students to new levels of growth and healing. Her passion for movement springs from her experience as a professional dancer, Pilates teacher, Iyengar yoga instructor, and yoga teacher trainer. Ada is inspired by the dedication of her students, and is deeply grateful for the guidance provided her by her teachers: Donald Moyer, Mary Lou Weprin and Judith Hanson Lasater, among others. A self-professed “anatomy geek”, she leads classes and retreats throughout California's Bay Area, and more recently, Portland, Oregon. You can also find her in the May and October 2011 issues of Yoga Journal.
