Yvonne Suzuki Licopoli

"E-RYT 500, YACEP, Teaching Advanced Classical Yoga"

Yvonne began studying yoga and became a vegetarian in 2002 as a means of achieving optimal health and wellbeing. After having studied with world renowned teachers, Yvonne met her guru, Sri Dharma Mittra in 2007, who remains her most influential teacher.

 

She completed her first yoga teacher training at YogaWorks in 2007, followed by Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with David Swenson. She completed the 500 hour (2010) and 800 hour (2013) Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Dharma Mittra.

Yvonne is certified in Thai Yoga Massage through Lotus Palm Institute in Montreal, and studied Gong Yoga of Holistic Resonance with Grand Gong Master, Don Conreaux. 

She completed the Plant Based Nutrition Certificate Program of T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in 2017.

Yvonne’s classes are a challenging breath aligned flow of classical asana (postures), sequenced in a manner to gently open the body, intensify healing prana (life force, energy), release blockages (emotional and physical), leading to increased strength and flexibility. Modifications for most postures are offered, as well as invitations to move into more advanced variations.

Yoga is a way of life. It is Yvonne’s belief that to achieve yoga, as with achieving success in anything, practice and self study must be an immutable priority.

1 hour and 30 minutes
Combining ujjayi breath with a challenging sequence of postures, creates internal heat in this vinyasa flow class. Expect spine lengthening and strengthening, inversions, chest opening (back bending), hip opening, and arm balances, to a rockin' playlist to keep energy levels up. In classical vinyasa, postures are held for five to ten breaths (or more) so that the benefits of the posture may be more fully realized, for it is in the holding of the pose that transformation occurs. This class is not appropriate for beginners.
