Nirmala Norma Berrios

Nirmala's lifelong journey with yoga began at the age of 16, fueled by a deep desire to understand the meaning of life and her place within it. Over the past 18 years, she has immersed herself in the rich traditions of Vedanta and Samkhya philosophy, engaging in profound Self-Study with her Guru, Shri Manorama Devi Ma, director of Sanskrit Studies and Luminous Soul Method.

Nirmala's training extends to the sacred texts of yoga, including The Upanishads, Atma Bhodha, Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita, gaining profound insights into the principles and practices that underpin this ancient and revered tradition. She received her Iyengar Yoga certification from Laughing Lotus in NYC in 2004 and incorporates a traditional approach to teaching that emphasizes precise alignment and conscious breath awareness.

Nirmala's classes are a harmonious blend of physical practice and philosophical exploration, leaving students feeling aligned, energized, and deeply connected to their inner selves.
