About the teacher

Ada's practice of yoga and meditation began in 1993 as an organic progression from her work as a professional dancer and Pilates instructor, and a path to healing career-related injuries. She is a Certified Yoga Teacher and graduate of the Advanced Studies Program at the Yoga Room in Berkeley, a three-year teacher-training program in the Iyengar Tradition. She guides students of all levels and life stages through a challenging yet accessible practice in which body and breath are explored incrementally to facilitate deepening awareness, openness, strengthening, and healing. Ada's teaching is inspired by Donald Moyer, Mary Lou Weprin and Patricia Sullivan, as well as her passion for movement, and the study of human anatomy. She leads classes and retreats throughout California's Bay Area.
