Gita Rohde, Yin, Restorative, Sound, and Meditation Teacher
She/Her/Hers
What brought you to yoga?
When my dear friend was immersed in her yoga teacher training, she would invite me to her practice classes. At the time, yoga felt distant to me, yet one day, something within me shifted, as if a hidden door quietly opened. Since then, I have walked the path of yoga with an open heart, never ceasing to be its student.
What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
Once a devotee of fiery Ashtanga and flowing of Vinyasa. Now, my throne is Yin — the temple of surrender, the kingdom of deep time, where tissues unravel and the spirit softens into silence.
What would your students be surprised to know about you?
I am a two-times IronMan and my passion is Thai Vedic bodywork and savasana. Releasing tension, soothing the nervous system, awakening balance.
