9pm Yoga by Sita Davis
Sita's classes are rooted in an awareness of breath, energy, and connection, in the spirit of her deep desire that all beings may experience their own inherent wholeness. She is a mother, artist and devotee of the earth and moon, as well as a Certified Yoga Therapist with over 1000 hours of training through Niroga Institute in Berkeley and Dharma Inc in Berkeley, Oakland and Thailand. Born in India and raised in the Bay Area, Sita has been practicing yoga regularly for the past two decades and intermittently since childhood. Her earliest teachers were her parents, who spent the months before and after her birth studying with TKV Desikachar in Southern India. Sita humbly and lovingly shares the trauma-informed, heart-opening transformational practices of that have been transmitted to her over the years from her beloved teachers.
