Shivadasi, E.R.Y.T. (Felise Berman)
Shivadasi is a graduate of the Jivamukti Yoga Center in New York City, Teacher Training Program 2001. She took her first yoga class in high school but Jyoti Chrystal was the first yogini to inspire her 17 years ago. Since 1997, she has studied with Sharon Gannon, David Life Ruth Minenti, Manorama, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois during September 2001 and with Master Yoga Instructors at a variety of workshops.

She is an advanced registered Yoga Instructor with the Yoga Alliance (E-RYT) and Jivamukti Yoga (ACJYT). She also graduated from Bihar Yoga Bharati Institute for Advanced Studies and received a Certificate in Yogic Studies, Munger, India, under the direction of Paramahansa Niranjanada Saraswati.

She received initiation from Swami Niranjan on January 28th, 2006 in Munger India. Currently, she lives and teaches in Northern New Jersey, New York City and conducts yoga retreats abroad.

As an intuitive yogini and a sensitive and a well-trained teacher, she brings experience to the field of yoga, holistic studies, innovative thinking and metaphysical teaching. Shivadasi's classes are taught in a vinyasa style (asana sequence linked by breath and correct intention). Each class places a strong emphasis on the educational and historical aspects of yoga and the ancient teaching. Classes include music, spoken word, asana sequencing, yogic breathing and meditation.

She recognizes the importance of her background in the arts and her intuitive nature; she incorporates her experience into her yoga teaching style. Shivadasi's commitment to continuing her personal studies is unfaltering, as is her strong belief in practicing a yogic lifestyle.
