Rima Sophia

I am a Portland native who discovered yoga at a young age through my parents.I began teaching yoga in 2003 after extensive training with senior teachers from the Krishnamacharya lineage.Krishnamacharya is considered foundational to modern yoga through influential figures such as Pattabhi Jois, B.K.S. Iyengar, and T.K.V. Desikachar.In addition to teaching yoga, I am a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant and a Certified Functional Nutrition Coach.While yoga remains at the heart of my work, I integrate my passion for anatomy, neuroscience, philosophy, meditation, and functional movement into my teaching.This blended approach allows me to offer a comprehensive and holistic path to health and well being.
