Sandra Razieli originally came to yoga in1997 to find a way to ease pain associated with scoliosis. She quickly discovered that asana practice not only helped her feel better in her body, but was great training for her mind and inspirational for her spirit.
She graduated from the Piedmont Yoga Studio’s Advanced Studies 1 ½ year program in 2001 and studied in Pune with the Iyengars in 2007. She also holds a teacher certification in Yoga and Jewish Spirituality from the Institute of Yoga and Jewish Spirituality. Sandra enjoys yoga as a lifelong practice of exploration and is grateful to her many teachers including Elise Miller, Donald Moyer, Mary Paffard, Ramanand Patel, Richard Rosen and Jin Sung.
She believes that applying the insights gained in yoga practice to everyday habits of movement can lead to greater freedom and comfort, and ultimately a more fulfilling life. In addition, she finds yoga is a particularly powerful practice because it is a method by which individuals can have an active role in taking care of themselves. As an avid soccer player she firmly believes that yoga has and will help her to keep on kicking for many years. As an anthropologist she is keenly aware of how cultural messages affect our body image, and ultimately our experience living in and with our bodies.
