Pilar Salazar

Pilar was originally drawn to yoga through her fascination with anatomy of the body, movement, and exercise, and the mysteries of the conscious and unconscious mind. In 1999, she received her first teacher training at the Kapoli Yoga Center in Escazu, Costa Rica, which was followed by a second teacher certification from the YogaWorks program. In 2014, her devotion to her own practice led her to Mysore, India, where she studied at the Krishna Patthabi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. Most recently in 2017, she did a teacher training in Tulum, Mexico with Tim Miller. Pilar has a dedicated personal yoga practice which is based in the Ashtanga Yoga method. Pilar teaches Vinyasa Flow for all levels; her students enjoy her dynamic, uplifting, and invigorating teaching style, with her main intention focusing on alignment as well as keeping the mind and breath in the present moment. Throughout her classes she weaves the elements of graceful movement, focus on personal intention, and enjoyment. Pilar is fluent in both Spanish and English, and her teaching style is a marriage of the best of many worlds: Eastern yogic philosophies such as fluid breath and inner discovery; Western values of achieving personal goals; and Costa Rica’s light-hearted Pura Vida style.
