Rocio Varela
E-RYT-200
Rocio started practicing Kundalini yoga in 2007 as a way to recover her health and build her immune system. A few years later in 2012, she fell in love with the discipline and structure of Ashtanga yoga. Rocio became a student of David C Kyle and was very dedicated to her practice. Inspired by such great teachers at AshtangaYoga Puerto Rico, led her to become an instructor in 2013. By learning the Primary series, she went into a journey inward that not only saved her physical health but also brought her back to herSelf after going through some difficulties. A chef by trade, Rocio started teaching Ashtanga yoga part time and has transitioned her daily life to her true purpose; to serve and help people live a better life physically, mentally and emotionally.
In April 2016 Rocio completed a 40-hour Ashtanga intensive teacher training with David Swenson and also completed 200 hrs of Hatha/Vinyasa Teacher Training at the Yoga Loft in Bethlehem where she also completed her Restorative Yoga certification in March 2017. With yoga being her passion and her love for learning from different teachers, in 2028 she decided to take a 200 hr refresher course at Saraswati Yoga Joint in Norwalk, CT.
Following her true purpose, Rocio became a Certified Holistic Health Nutritionist in 2020 and combined her love of yoga, meditation and wellness.
Rocio sees herself as a yoga student for LIFE, she continues her yoga education and stays inspired by attending workshops and practicing daily. She truly believes yoga saved her health, and her life and has taught her how to live in joy.
