About me
Rosanna comes from a fitness and martial arts background and holds a first-degree black belt in Shorin-Ryu Karate. She has competed and won the Fitness America New York Pageant. Although no longer competing in fitness or practicing martial arts, she found a pure love and passion for Yoga. Her continued practice has helped her grow to become even stronger, more flexible, and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga has truly inspired her to live each moment more mindfully.
She has been practicing yoga for more than 18 years and is a graduate of the Soul Space Teacher Training Program. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher through the National Yoga Alliance. She truly believes that she will always be a student of the practice and is very deeply grateful for the loving wisdom her teachers have shared with her.
She works with everyone from children to the elderly. She likes to customize the yoga practice to suit the skill level of the class.
Power yoga is her most passionate style for her practice. She creates an energetic, vigorous, and focused practice for those looking to move and breathe. Her classes are powerful, and she loves to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness, and a dose of inspiration to help those deepen their practice and be willing to learn. She thrives with challenges and will encourage the growth of one’s physical self. She believes that by focusing on breathing and being fully present in the body, any athletic activity can be enhanced and supported. She seeks to help others thrive in life by challenging and nurturing the body, mind, and soul with yoga. She hopes that you step off the mat feeling energized, refreshed, and balanced.
