Yoga came into Leticia’s life in 2018, when she started practicing at home, out of curiosity. At this time, she realized the benefits, physical and emotional, that yoga brought into her routine. She always loved being active, but the awareness of the breath, body, and mind all together in yoga, was something new. Day by day, as her practice became more consistent, she became passionate about yoga. She decided to join studio classes at Auburn after dealing with respiratory issues in 2020, which made her realize even more the importance of our breath. Yoga classes were decisive in her physical and emotional recovery. In the studio, she was able to learn about correct alignment, mindfulness, awareness of the body/breath, and to connect with the beautiful and supportive yoga community in Auburn.
In 2023, she pursued her 200-hour teacher training in Rishikesh, India, where she could learn more about Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga practices. Her Hatha classes at Be Yoga will focus on longer holding of poses, strengthening, and breath/body awareness, for all levels. During teacher training she became especially interested in pranayama, yoga anatomy, and philosophy, which she is excited to share with students. She loves to study about different limbs of yoga and considers herself a forever learner.
