Delia has been teaching yoga for 14 years and practicing yoga for 18+ years. After practicing and teaching a Vinyasa-style class for many years, her passion for gentle and restorative yoga is now her primary offering. When she experienced the physical and emotional challenges of breast cancer in 2013, she relied on her home practice, Gentle and Restorative classes, during her recovery process. YOGA became an essential part of her healing and strength recovery. Having a steady yoga practice before cancer, she was better prepared to meet her challenge head-on. She is passionate about sharing yoga as a tool to expand one's life and encourage health, wellness, and creativity one pose at a time! She creates a light-hearted environment where she encourages students to think less and feel more! Her 200hr training in 2010 included influences from the Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Viniyoga traditions. Delia is a native Alexandrian and loves practicing yoga outside, surrounded by nature, or on her Standup paddleboard any chance she gets.
