Certified Yoga Teacher

Practicing for over 25 years, teaching for over 17, and training teachers since 2006, Eva is certified in Soma Yoga and Prana Yoga, both styles of hatha yoga that stress the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection and incorporate pranayama (breathing) and the subtle energy system (chakras, nadis, koshas…) into their teachings. She also has a certificate in instructing Pranayama from Ashram Yoga, NZ, Guiding Yoga Nidra from Yogini Ashram, CA, and is a Certified Mudra Teacher. She is a White Light Reiki Master, Holy Fire III Reiki Master, Karuna Reiki Master, and Thai Yoga Bodywork certified (Level 2), and registered with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) and YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). Former co-owner/co-director of The Yoga Studio in Fair Haven, Eva is the co-creator and director of Padme Yoga Teacher Training. She integrates aspects of alignment technique, pranayama, yoga philosophy and spirituality, meditation and relaxation into her classes, offering her students an opportunity to journey with her into the peace and stillness that we each have at our core. She has a B.A. in Art from Monmouth University, and is a C.R.T. (Certified Respiratory Therapist) with an A.A.S. in Respiratory Care. She has a deep understanding of the body and breath from a scientific point of view as well as the yogic point of view, and a creative approach to putting them together in her classes. Eva believes that we can each use our unique set of assets in body, mind, and spirit to work into and through our challenges to create a balanced life. She has created a space of acceptance and non-judgement at Blue Moon Yoga, making sure that ALL practitioners feel welcome, regardless of their experience, age, or body type. She continues her education at every opportunity through attending workshops and seminars in person and on line and continually reading and studying. We should never stop learning and challenging ourselves!​
