Instructor

Bikram Yoga Yorktown

Larissa has a strong background in fitness. She grew up dancing and was always passionate about movement. Her journey as a teacher began in Pilates , 10+ years ago. She continued to expand her fitness career by certifying in TRX, Barre, Megaformer and Aerial yoga and 200 hour RYT. Larissa used these forms of movement to help heal herself. She struggled with many things in life and just wanted to be able to sit with herself. When she first started practicing yoga in 2013 she was able to just be. Not only did the physical practice resonate with her, there was the spiritual benefits she started to receive as well. “When I was away from my practice the monkey chatter in my brain quickly takes over”, says Larissa. “Yoga and meditation are like medicine for me. I have to continuously practice the practice. I myself will forever be a student”.
