Thora was a professional graphic designer before she discovered yoga. The years in front of a computer caused her major back problems. What began as a component of her physical therapy became a new career and way of life. The spiritual growth and fellowship she found through her practice felt so natural, it was like coming home. Thora brings an energy to her classes that cultivates growth in asanas as well as inspiring deeper spiritually. Thora is a certified Interdisciplinary Yoga Instructor and attained her 200 hour certification at Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica under Don and Amba Stapleton (Don Stapleton was former teacher and director of Kripalu for 20 years). She has been teaching yoga in the lower Fairfield county area for over 2 years and is registered with the Yoga Alliance. After being introduced to Anusara yoga, she is now on the path to becoming a certified Anusara instructor and has successfully completed the Level 1 Anusara Teacher Training with Ross Rayburn, Certified Anusara Teacher. She has also completed Anusara Teacher Training Immersions 1 and 2 also with Ross Rayburn.
