Yelimar RodriguezWho did you study with? I studied under Johnathan Fields and Lauren Hanna of Sonic Yoga and Sadie Nardini founder of Core Strength Vinyasa. How long have you been teaching? I've been teaching for 4 years but it wasn't until October of 2009 that my heart was set on fire and I started to teach full time! What other jobs have you had? I've done a cornucopia of things…I've worked as a retail sales associate, barista, customer service representative, purchasing assistant, front desk reception manager, and hiring manager. Favorite place that you have traveled to? There is a lot more traveling in my future but for now… Costa Rica really took my breath away! List 3 words your students would use to describe your classes: Strengthening, Core-aligned, & Sweaty How does your own practice influence your daily life? My practice reminds me to reconnect to being instead of doing and acquiring things from the outside in. It helps me realign with my internal wisdom and guidance. Because of it I surf the waves of daily life with more integrity, and trust. Favorite asana? Handstand: I am still making peace with the fear of flopping over but practicing it feels empowering. I love most arm-balances! Who is a teacher who inspires you? Yikes…There are so many. Sadie Nardini, Keith Wittenstein, & Leslie Kaminoff come to mind, and definitely my students. They inspire me and are my biggest mirrors. A great yoga class makes you feel… Challenged, expansive, |
