Naomi began practicing yoga in 2001, and immediately fell in love. Focusing exclusively on Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga at first, her practice gradually broadened to incorporate elements of other yogic traditions. From her very first class she knew that yoga was more than just a practice on the mat, but a way of life, an opening and awakening of the mind, and a vehicle to self-realization of the spirit. A passionate student of all types of yoga, it was the discovery of hot yoga that really ignited Naomi's desire to teach and share the ancient practice with others. With over 600 hours of training in Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Hot Vinyasa, Hot 26 and Yin Yoga, Naomi’s passion comes through in her challenging yet playful flow classes that interweave together the Yang and the Yin while focusing on maintaining the breath throughout the poses and listening to the body, the teacher within.
