Tishia Beneventi
Tishia has been involved in nutrition and fitness for over twenty years. She started practicing Ashtanga yoga in 2000 as a compliment to other athletic activities and was drawn by the physical challenge and discipline. It did not take long for Tishia to realize that the integration of deep breathing, proper alignment, isolation of muscle groups and concentration had a profound and positive impact on not only her physical performance, but also her mental and spiritual health. Having spent the past ten years of exploring different styles of yoga under world known practitioners, she has simply fallen in love with vinyasa-flow. Enriched with a greater understanding of yoga philosophy and the nourishment yoga provides to the soul, Tishia decided to become a yoga instructor and health counselor in hopes to share her passion and inspire others. She received her training at Teachers College Columbia University and Integrative Nutrition in New York City. Tishia is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, leads workshops on nutrition, and offers individual, family and group nutrition counseling. Her credo is Nourish Your Body, Indulge in Life!
Tishia teaches power vinyasa flow classes which integrate the breath through a dynamic sequence of postures. Each class is specifically designed to build strength and endurance, tone muscles, improve digestion and metabolism and cleanse the body. With focus on proper alignment, Tishia applies a practical and systematic approach to each asana and offers modifications to enhance and vary practice. Each class proposes new challenges, empowered by a theme used to cultivate a deeper self-awareness.
