Ana Lisa's Bio:
I am honored to speak of Yoga as my home, a place of freedom that permeates the space in my heart. I was introduced to Yoga growing up in California by the Santa Monica and Malibu beaches and graced with the opportunity to be surrounded by wonderful teachers such as Sean Corn and Erik Shiffman. Eventually, the fascination in variations of Hatha led me to resonate with a deeper love in Integral Yoga. I received Yoga teacher training from the Satchidananda Ashram in Yogaville, Buckingham Virginia in October of 2004. My family had visited years ago and I read Swami Satchidananda’s books with the motto “Truth is One, Paths are Many”. I was taught by many wonderful dedicated yogis and yoginis including monastics, doctors, and professionally trained Yoga instructors whose influences have literally changed my life. I embrace yoga as a river of life that flows through my heart and outward.
This exquisite journey has led me to the path of service by teaching Yoga full-time throughout the Atlanta area, including the facilitation of stress reduction workshops, meditation gatherings, and an ongoing Yoga program for corporate staff and patients at Peachford Hospital. With all fire and energy under my belly, I became interested in incorporating the pulsing rhythm of Vinyasa Flow into my Integral practice. In November of 2006 I received Fluid Power Vinyasa teacher training from Shiva Rea. Since then my sadhana and teaching began to open more deeply into an awakening of energetic (Shakti) fire, recognizing the fluid bodies and wave like vibrations in and around us, providing a space to truly release and let go. Additionally, I am trained as a Recreation Therapist, using leisure to intrinsically motivate individuals to heal and discover a path towards optimal wellness. In conjunction with Yoga and Therapy, I am a Reiki practitioner using hands on healing to promote stress reduction and relaxation. I choose to live each day with zest, and joy, inviting others to join me in this fluid cosmic dance.
May the entire Universe be filled with peace and joy, love and light. Victory to that light, and victory to the Divine Spirit within each one of us!
Infinite Blessings and Joy,
Ana Lisa Shanti Cesare CTRS, RYT
