Kim Ottaviani Hatha Yoga Instructor Kim has been teaching children for over 25 years, so making the transition into sharing her love of yoga through leading others in the practice was a natural progression for her. Kim hopes her classes give students a soft place to settle, find acceptance and re-center in times of challenge, a heart opening place to have fun and connect in times of ease as well as a secure place to build strength and flexibility and celebrate life. Kim began her yoga asana practice about eight years ago in a most eclectic manner under the direction of various teachers at a local gym. Marcia, with her most open heart, and Eden, with his great knowledge and ease in leading a safe fluid practice, were among her earliest teachers. She was inspired by Steve Feinzig and Peter Barber during her "summer of yoga" in 2004 and has been a student of Anusara yoga since then. Kim has also soaked in the knowledge of life on and off the mat at workshops led by John Friend, Amy Ippoliti, Betsy Downing, Desiree Rumbaugh and Jordan Bloom. She completed the Anusara Immersion with Jordan and the Anusara Teacher Training under the guidance of Christy Nones and Peter Barber.
