Arah Bahn
My yoga practice started over 20 years ago, with an early morning class I took while living in central Oregon, while on summer break from college. The resilience and stark beauty of the alpine desert, as well as the very active outdoors lifestyle of that community, drove me into a yoga studio for some structured stretching, relaxation and reflection.
I have practiced in several yoga traditions, which include Kripalu, Iyengar, Bikram, and Vinyasa. The joyous, powerful and meditative style of Vinyasa has resonated for me since 2007, and it inspired me to attain yoga teaching certification (200 hrs) in the winter of 2010. Since then I have also achieved certification in NETAGroup Exercise, and I continue to take various yoga, alignment, fitness, and other trainings to increase my experience and knowledge base. As a yoga teacher, I look forward to helping others in their personal wellness journeys.
