More Palm Yoga Information
Rebecca, owner and Director of Palm Yoga, has been doing yoga since childhood as a way of coping with asthma and allergies. Over the years, she has developed an acute sense of body awareness and an interest in using natural therapies rather than conventional “Western” medicine. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1997, she formalized her yoga practice and began teaching in 1999. Rebecca worked with several studios in the Los Angeles area and during that time participated in studio management, development of teacher training programs, as well as producing and marketing a beginners yoga video. She has studied with many well known teachers from around the world including Kofi Busia, Rodney Yee and Erich Schiffman. Rebecca holds two teacher certifications, one from Planet Yoga Inc. and another as a Certified Relax and Renew restorative teacher by the foremost restorative teacher in the country, Judith Lasater. She continues to deepen her practice and teaching skills through participating in interesting workshops and training courses.
With Palm Yoga, she has taken technical and spiritual knowledge from all of her teachers and combined it with her own unique style of presentation to offer students a pleasing yoga experience. The studio welcomes students of all levels and strives to make everyone feel comfortable and open to learning and experiencing new things.
Whether you are looking for weight loss, stress relief or a deeper connection to life, Palm Yoga offers you a way to achieve your desired goals.
