Hello! I am Faria - A social worker in training, a Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT 500 hour) and trained in Yoga Therapy. Since 2016 I have been on a journey of learning and trained in specialty tracks such as Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Pranayama, and Therapeutic Yoga.
I enjoy sharing the gifts of yoga for all the therapeutic benefits of this practice - from the power of channeling the breath and finding mindful movement to discovering the zen this practice offers physically, emotionally, and mentally through movement and meditation.
I have been teaching for the past 5 years and have helped clients with mobility and strength, reduce stress and anxiety, find ease and joy within themselves using the tools of yoga. Whether you want to begin the journey of yoga, explore asanas or find some therapeutic benefits of this beautiful practice, I'll be delighted to guide you through your journey in our work together.
MY approach to yoga is not simply the physical aspect and just addressing the physical layer. I will see you as a whole person and take your whole being into account as we find the right practice for you!

Faria was superb. Wholistic in her approach and very patient Only reason I stopped the classes was because I had a fall and fractured my spine. I hope to resume upon recovery

Faria has been a crucial part of my pregnancy, with biweekly prenatal yoga classes. I'm a total beginner; each class was adapted to my skill level, how I was feeling, and the stage in my pregnancy. Faria genuinely cared about me, my progress and my baby. She's patient and engaged, kind and supportive. It's the only time each week I truly set aside for myself and focus on my baby and mental health thru the pregnancy. I couldn't be more thankful! I highly recommend her for pregnancy, or any yoga class and guidance. Every new mamma deserves a Faria :) thank you!

I found Faria to be an amazing and inspirational instructor. She is truly passionate about practicing yoga and sharing the teachings of it. I enjoy taking her classes and look forward to attending them with any opportunity I find. There was a time I had trouble falling asleep; but after practicing restorative yoga and a body scan meditation with her I found lots of ease and relaxation that helped me in finally have a restful night of sleep. I admire her teachings and how she keeps them simple but effective. I highly recommend her - I am sure you won't be disappointed!

I absolutely love practicing yoga with Faria. I took her classes in person consistently for a year. I could see a huge improvement in how my body felt and body strength in general. She always mentioned a few ways to do a pose so that you could do it at whatever level you were comfortable. She is such a patient and calm instructor. I came away feeling like I got a great workout, and I was more relaxed afterwards every time. I highly recommend Yoga with Faria.

Faria is very knowledgeable in the field. She leads the yoga session while educating thus leaving the client with knowledge which they can incorporate into their daily lives. I am enjoying my sessions with Faria and highly recommend her.
