Justicia stumbled upon yoga quite accidentally while in graduate school, and certainly had no idea how prominent it would become in her life. Yoga was initially very hard for her; asanas were tiring, and postures like Chatturanga Dandasana (low plank) completely impossible.  She built strength and confidence steadily under the guidance of extraordinary teachers, and ultimately cultivated a personal practice by confronting initial fear and resistance.

Ten years later, Justicia remains a devoted student, and knows that her personal practice informs her teaching. She believes yoga to be her dharma, her path. It woke her up from a life fraught with escapist coping mechanisms, and ultimately taught her an infinitely valuable truth: that she was worthy and capable of self-love. Her focus is on sharing that joy of radical self acceptance and self love with her students.

Integrating alignment, movement and breath in a playful, accessible manner, Justicia is sought after for detailed anatomical information and her open-hearted teaching style. She has found a home in Anusara Yoga, and is dedicated to its life-afirming philosophy and elegant alignment principles.  She is certified at the 500 hour level with the Yoga Alliance; in 2007 she joyfully achieved AcroYoga certification, and is an Anusara Inspired teacher, working towards full certification.

Justicia offers group classes and private instruction, workshops, and acrobatic performance.
