When Reva found yoga, she loved how the practice made her feel both powerful and peaceful; how it brought a sense of presence that she had never experienced before. She was originally sparked by Hatha and then fell in love with the creativity and dance of Vinyasa.
Her first big plunge to deepen her studies came with the completion of a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified Vinyasa teacher training. Reva later traveled to Bali for her second 200 hour teacher training in Hatha Yoga with Akasha Yoga Academy learning the history and philosophy of this sacred practice. This adventure enriched her teaching style and showed her there is always more to learn!
The study of Yin yoga opened up a new doorway. Reva has found tremendous benefit in slowing down and listening. Insight Yoga training with Sarah Powers drastically changed her approach to practice and teaching. Yang postures with a Yin mentality can connect practitioners to the present moment.
Reva loves being able to share her passion for yoga with her students. She has found balance in her own practice by blending together the flow of Vinyasa and the focus of Hatha. The stillness and reflection of Yin allows more presence in active practice. Restorative yoga helps calm the nervous system, allowing the body to regenerate on a cellular level. Reva believes that all styles of yoga are beneficial. She offers a well-rounded and creative approach, with dynamic classes that are sure to energize and inspire!
Reva, the hostess at Casa Isabel, has spent the past year witnessing the incredible transformations that unfold during yoga retreats within this sacred space. She has been captivated by the profound healing energy that permeates Casa Isabel and feels privileged to be a part of this transformative process. She can’t wait to share it with you!
