Shiva Rea - Shiva Rea began studying yoga at the age of fourteen as a way to understand her name given to her by her father, an artist and surfer. Shiva is an avid Ashtanga practioner who respects the core technique of the Krishnamacharya lineage (asana, bandha, pranayama, meditation) while being true to other streams of influence that have deepened her experience of yoga from dance and bodywork to rock climbing and her extensive travels in India, East and West Africa, Nepal, Bali and the Caribbean. She teaches flow (vinyasa) based yoga integrating alignment and intuition, strength and fluidity, meditation and wisdom in action. As a yogic usher, she guides you to the seat inside your Self and then supports your experience with your life-long teacher - the intelligence within. Shiva looks for your potential and both challenges and nurtures you to embody your being with vitality and grace.
