Laxmi

Laxmi (Rita M. DeLeo) began studying & practicing Yoga in 1992 while traveling around the US. Following a deep longing to heal the self, she turned to a more nourishing lifestyle and later began studies in the Healing Arts. In 2000, she lived & trained at the Sivananda Ashram and was certified as a Hatha Yoga teacher. Since that time she has attended many workshops & conferences learning how to provide a safe environment for students to get the optimum benefits from their practice w/ focus on awareness, proper alignment & breathing.

She has studied with Baron Baptiste, & Beryl Bender Birch and completed a teacher training w/ Tim Miller.

Laxmi recently returned from India where she deepened her meditation practice while staying at the OSHO Commune in Pune. Taking a vow of sannyas, she agreed to live life in awareness. She finds joy in sharing her experiences w/all those around her. Her intention in practice is to transcend the body, then the mind & finally, drop into the innermost being (the Purush).

Laxmi is a compassionate & nurturing teacher.Her classes are dynamic & fun, w/ attention on the cultivation of Prana through the breath. She also has the steadiness of her roots in classical Hatha to create a balanced sequence of postures, easily modified to fit all levels of practitioners. Her classes are designed to relieve tension, create strength & flexiblity, & encourage an overall state of bliss.
