Ada Lusardi’s practice of yoga and meditation began in 1993 as an organic progression from her work as a professional dancer and Pilates instructor, and a path to healing career-related injuries. A full-time yoga teacher since 2000, she is a graduate of the Advanced Studies Program at the Yoga Room in Berkeley and deeply grateful for the guidance provided her by her teachers; Donald Moyer, Mary Lou Weprin, Patricia Sullivan and Judith Hanson Lasater among others. She guides students of all levels and life stages through a challenging yet accessible practice in which body and breath are explored incrementally to facilitate deepening awareness, openness, strengthening and healing. Ada’s teaching is inspired by the dedication of her students and her passion for movement and the study of human anatomy. She leads classes and retreats throughout California’s Bay Area and more recently in Portland, Oregon.
