Ariel Clara Pavic is the
person behind the name. Her dream was bringing the joys of
yoga to everyone... and so the name evolved.Ariel is a creative
and approachable teacher, inspired to offer the tools to living
your dream - a life of health, happiness,
and peace... yoga is that tool.
Ariel's teaching draws from her background of contemporary
movement training, jazz, ballet, personal yoga practice and
intuition. Also largely on 17 years spent riding, showing,
and training horses in Dressage - the "yoga" of equestrian
disciplines and teaching riding lessons.
A riding injury which fractured 2 vertebrae in her spine left
her with severe back problems for years, the solution was
yoga. It is the personal experience with debilitating pain
and recovery through yoga that she hopes to share with her
students. As a result she places a strong emphasis on safety
and correct alignment during her classes.
Her no nonsense approach, creative and invigorating yoga flows, keep students loyal. As an experienced teacher, who has taught full time since 2002, she has taught thousands of hours of classes to thousands of students in studio, home, and corporate locations.
Following through with her calling to work with pregnant and
birthing women, Ariel continues with a focus in this field.The
wound of losing her own mother at a young age has transformed
into her gift. For Ariel, working with women pre-natally is
something
that brings her much joy, and this shines through to her students!
