Iva Drtina-Hall

Iva's aim as a yoga teacher is to help initiate the process of transformation within every student. She invites all to participate not only in asana (poses) but also in pranayama (breath control) and dhyana (meditation). Iva has always been interested in body movement and awareness: ballet, jazz dance, african dance, gymnastics and yoga. She became interested in health, nutrition and alternative medicine began as a student at McGill University in Montreal. An avid traveler, she lived in Tokyo for 10 years, teaching cultural awareness, running a café-lounge with her husband and teaching yoga. Iva’s classes incorporate meditation, yin poses and a flowing sequence with emphasis on increasing the internal heat not only to cleanse the body but also relax the mind and open the spirit.
