For over 20 years, Nora has been teaching yoga and dance classes to students of all ages. Nora took her first Yoga class in college as a dance major and was immediately drawn to a practice that not only helped her transform her body and mind into more connection, flexibility and strength but yoga helped her to love her body for the first time. Living much of her adult life in NYC, Nora completed her first 200-hour teacher training at Atmananda Yoga and started teaching Vinyasa classes in Brooklyn while also performing as a modern dancer and choreographer. She found Bikram in 2005 and was won over quickly by the healing properties of the heat. Her studies of Pilates, Feldenkrais and Katonah Yoga have also influenced her teaching practice.

Love and curiosity took her abroad and with the births of her two children while she was living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she started her study of Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Yoga. Returning to NYC with a baby and a toddler, she has since focused a lot of her teaching on the ages her children have passed through. While in NYC, Nora received her pre-natal Certificate through OM Yoga, Developmental Movement and Baby Yoga Certification with Ellynne Skove and her Kids Teacher Training through Karma Kids.

Since moving back to the Boston area in 2021, in addition to teaching at BREATHE, Nora also teaches LunchTime Yoga at Vivid Oblivion and kids classes at the Foundry in Cambridge. She also teaches privates, small group and is the Theater Arts and Dance Specialist at Cambridge Montessori School.

Nora’s yoga classes use Iyengar elements of alignment mixed with a conscious use of Vinyasa flow sequencing and a healthy dose of playfulness and movement to help students find a balance between effort and ease in their practice. When possible, she infuses her classes with hands on adjustments, core work and a lengthy final relaxation. Her classes are always musical, sweaty and filled with gratitude!
