Aurafitness

Aura is a senior vinyasa “flow” style teacher, and uses choreography and music to create a seamless class.  Aura has also studied Ashtanga and Iyengar practice styles. She leads fitness, meditation and yoga retreats internationally.  Aura is an experienced group facilitator as well as designer of corporate fitness programs for businesses.
