Brigit Cogrossi
Brigit Cogrossi has a passionate fascination with health, healing and well-being since the 80′s. Her interest in human bio-mechanics, anatomy, dance, fitness, the natural world, and how the body heals led her to start teaching fitness & stretch classes at the age of 18.
After some injuries, Brigit discovered the healing powers of massage therapy and rehabilitation through movement, breathing and stretching. In 1989 she became licensed as a Registered Massage Therapist.
After 30 years of practicing yoga and 14 years of teaching, Brigit feels the benefits of her yoga practice: clarity, gratitude, focus, strength, flexibility, compassion, ability to heal, greater mobility and comfort in her own skin, allows her to flow a little freer through whatever life brings. This is her ultimate passion to share with others. Using the practice, Brigit has learned shining the light of Awareness into the sensations of the physical body and mind fosters the connection to your True Wisdom.
Brigit is grateful for her teachers, from her earliest Iyvengar training, to Hatha Yoga, Anusara with Desiree Rambaugh and Martin Kirk, to completing her 300RYT with Tracey Rich & Ganga White at White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, following 200RYT in pranayama & meditation,the following year. The most recent teacher she has been drawn to is Natalie Rousseau of Living Yoga. Natalie shares her amazing amount of wisdom in the subtle practises, meditation, Ayurvedic Science and mythology. In June 2016, Brigit completed another 200hr Advanced Training Intensive: Skill in Action, in Victoria with Natalie.

VIRI PICHARDO, RYT. was introduced to the Yoga world over a decade ago. The very
first time she touched a mat she fell in Love with Yoga not only the asana practice but
the mind and body connection as well.
Her enjoyment for yoga has grown as she reaps the benefits of a regular practice. As
yoga translates to many aspects of her life including motherhood, releiving stress,
increasing flexibility, core strength as well as improving posture, mood and energy
levels.
During her RYT-200 Yoga teacher training she learnt that "we don't use our body to get
into a pose, but we use an asana to get into our bodies." Each class focuses on
breathing, opening, mindfulness, balance and injury prevention through asana
modifications offered during the class.
Viri's ultimate goal is to create a welcoming and safe space for participants to practice Yoga.
