Octavia Nasr's yoga practice began eighteen years ago and has been evolving since. Her dedication is expressed through a daily Sadhana that includes asana, pranayama, and meditation. She considers yoga to be a gift of peace and non-harming that has nurtured her when she was consumed by a high profile job, and through every thick and thin of life to date.

Octavia took her first yoga class by chance and has never stopped practicing yoga since. Her hunger for learning took her to yoga studios, gyms, ashrams, and retreat centers near and far all over the world. She attended workshops, tried various yoga styles with diverse teachers in various languages. For years, she planned her vacations around yoga and used work trips as opportunities to try new yoga styles and meet like-minded people.

Her journey has taken her to India eleven times where she has traditionally stayed at the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh. There, she has learned yoga philosophy and was initiated by Sadhvi Abha Saraswati “Mataji” on Vedic Chanting. Experiencing the humility of ashram living, immersed in prayer, meditation, yoga asanas, and daily Ganga Aarti, are the soulful treasures that keep calling her back. Once a year, Octavia teaches Yogasana classes as well as a Yin Yoga Continued Education immersion at Parmarth Niketan Ashram. 

Octavia completed a 200-hour teacher training course at Peachtree Yoga Center in Atlanta and a 300-hour advanced training in Arambol, India, at the Yogvit Yogshala, She believes that in teaching she can reflect all the love, dedication, and selflessness of her own teachers. 

In 2015, she completed an intensive 100-Hour Kriya Yoga class at Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh. In 2018, she completed a 20-hour Teacher Training in Yin Yoga and a 14-hour immersion in Yoga Nidra. in 2020, she successfully completed the Yin Yoga: The Functional Approach 100-hour certification with Paul Grilley and the 100-hour YogaWorks teacher training program. 

Now the journey continues and Octavia is dedicated to using her knowledge and experience to help people tap into their higher selves to deal with illness, trauma, PTSD, work pressure, anxiety, balancing career and personal life, or anything else that might be ailing or troubling them. Octavia believes yoga is about serving others, which in turn helps her grow spiritually.
