About Aura Reverol
I look back on my journey as a yoga teacher with deep gratitude. My first yoga class in 2009 was a turning point—one that set me on a path of self-discovery and steady transformation. Under the guidance of my first teacher, Bernardino Machado, I was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga, a practice that immediately resonated with me and continues to shape my life.
In 2010, I completed my first teacher training with Manju Jois in Orlando. That experience led to several journeys to Mysore, India, where I studied at Sthalam 8 with Ajay Kumar, deepening both my practice and understanding of the tradition.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in Venezuela, Colombia, Central America, and New York. Through consistent practice, Ashtanga Yoga has strengthened my body, clarified my mind, and supported me through challenges I once thought impossible to overcome.
Sharing this practice is the heart of my teaching. I find great joy in supporting students in discovering their own strength, discipline, and potential—on and off the mat. I’m grateful for every student I’ve met and for the relationships built through practice.
I ran my yoga studio, Ashtanga Yoga Long Island, for six years before closing it in 2021 due to the pandemic. Since then, I’ve continued teaching both online and in person at Balance Yoga Center in Redding, Northern California.
Recently, guided by a longing to be closer to the ocean, I moved to Point Arena, California. I’m excited to begin offering Ashtanga Yoga classes at the local gym Physical Gym and to continue building community through practice. Whether online or in person, I invite you to join me on the mat and explore the steady, transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga.
