Tovah Rich, Yoga and Fitness Teacher

TAKE A CLASS WITH TOVAH

What brought you to yoga?
I enjoy how movement is such a potent medicine for both mind and body. I feel yoga brought me back to a sense of gratitude and appreciation for moving and flowing together in a community setting.

What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
Mentored by Bryan Kest, creator of Power Yoga, I’m passionate about helping students explore how their bodies move through space, start where they are, and honor what they feel to invite healing.

What would your students be surprised to know about you?
My students might be surprised to learn that I’m a big fan of hard rock and old-school punk, and I even play guitar! I also have a deep love of science and research, and I currently collaborate with Harvard Medical School to study the impact of the placebo effect.

Certifications:
Budokon Academy 500 hrs+, red belt. Bryan Kest, 1000 Hr YTT, Tracy Anderson, Method, and STOTT PILATES
