THE YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Izaskun Casanova

I love anatomy, soul consciousness through the body: where everything is connected.
I was born in Spain and after living 6 years in London I came to live in the amazing Mexican Pacific oast.

Certified teacher by Sostice Yoga Center (RYS 200 Yoga Alliance) with whom I collaborated for more than a decade, being also part of the Teacher Training team.
I love learning and sharing. I find inspiration in Hatha yoga with special attention in the alignment, in the therapeutic aspect and body consciousness.

My studies are based on the search for the path of healing from a holistic and natural perspective.
I have trained Spanish teachers in the use of BackMitra: a tool specially designed for anyone suffering from back pain or problems resulting from poor postural hygiene.

My classes have an important theoretical base bathed with a good dose of humor and “chocolate spirit” (pure joy).

We will stay at La Loma Linda Hotel, at Zipolite beach.
