Why should you obtain your training from Zokawa?

River’s extensive background in the roots of yoga provide wisdom and insight unparalleled by other trainers. With an academic background in Eastern religions and yoga training from expert Indian teachers from generations of yogis in the Mysore lineage, River synthesizes formal learning with personal experience in Modern Dance, life in Japan, a deep awareness of the ethereal body through energy work, and her own quirky personality to bring depth and fun to the training.

Additionally, with more than 20 years experience in adult education, River has honed the art of meeting students where they are and taking them beyond their dreams and goals. Because she is inspired and energized by the process of discovery and learning, and motivated by this outcome for her students, she presents complex material in simple, practical, and easily applicable terms. River empowers others through the seamless flow of knowledge and experience.
