Dori's Yogic Adventure
Dori was first introduced to Yoga in 2001, a freshman in college at the time. While studying the relationship between yoga, psychology and the nervous system Dori met her true calling. She immediately developed a strong connection and desire to explore the full spectrum of yoga. Over the years, as her love for yoga kept growing stronger, Dori continued her yogic education through studies and workshops, while keeping a consistent practice. Almost a decade later, she felt the urge to deepen her practice and become a professional teacher of yoga. She then joined the Yoga Alliance in the summer of 2010, and acquired the 200-hour Certification and Certificate of Ancient Thai Massage, in Guatemala with teachers Paula Tursi and Peter Kaaberbol Kristensen, whom she will always consider her Gurus. Dori is working towards gaining the 500-hr teacher training certificate, while pursuing the path of yogic enlightenment.
Dori's teaching style focuses on the student as an individual, seeing it as a personal journey. Dori integrates a vinyasa style practice with influences of Iyengar based Yoga. She is also one of the first professional teachers of SUP & Yoga in Costa Rica.
