Kavisa invites you to join her in the journey of inner investigation of the body, breath and mind. After 17+ years of yoga practice and 6+ years of teaching experience, Kavisa has found that yoga helps:
-
Nourish the authentic self
-
Connect with one's body in a loving way
-
Create space for introspection and Svādhyāya (self-study)
-
Harness the power of breath
-
Uncover negative patterns (samskaras) for self-development
-
Move emotions through the body
-
Strengthen muscles and increase flexibility
Kavisa is a native New Yorker now living in Sacramento, CA. She started practicing yoga in 2003 during university to complement her marathon training. She enjoyed awakening muscle groups and joints that otherwise would be neglected or stressed by miles of running.
Yoga took on a new level of meaning while Kavisa was serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania. She began to explore the philosophy of yoga. The movement of poses cleared her mind and fed her spirit. The practice helped her manage stress and unpack past traumas. She became more at home within her own body and mind – embracing new dimensions of herself where she could live life more fully.
Inspired to share how yoga can nourish the authentic self and physical and mental health Kavisa decided to become a certified yoga teacher. She received her 200-hour certification from Laughing Lotus in New York City in May 2014, training with Essence Wall (@sherocksyoga), Dana Trixie Flynn, Mary Dana Abbott and Emily Stone. Since then she has been teaching Vinyasa, Gentle, Hatha and Kids Yoga.
