Arisa is the owner and teacher at Apricot Yoga. 

Arisa is a 200-RYT certified yoga instructor and mom to an energetic 9-year-old boy. When she is not on the yoga mat, she loves to cook, watch movies, spend time with her family and take walks in nature in Edmonds where she lives with her son and husband. 

 

Arisa’s inquiries about mind-body connections began when she was in graduate school studying Neuroscience. Being burnt out and feeling disconnected from herself, she often sought out opportunities to come back in line with her mind through contact with nature. Her quest continued through her time after having a baby. Raising her son, it was always essential to her that she stayed connected with nature, ultimately hoping to connect with a deeper self. As so many lives were affected by the Pandemic, so was her life. Arisa discovers that Yoga provides a strong foundation for the path she always inquired about, the path to finding connection between  body and mind, and to stilling the fluctuating mind in order to reach closer to a peaceful mind.

 

Arisa is excited to reach out to many people and hopes to teach them what she has and still does enjoy learning through the power of Yoga practice. 

 

Arisa offers varieties of yoga, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Chair and Senior Yoga.
