Rita's Bio:
Rita Jimenez is passionate about offering yoga nidra and asana in English and Spanish. Her offerings are rooted in both trauma-informed training and her lived experiences. In 2013 she started teaching yoga with two non-profits, first Street Yoga and later with Living Yoga, in Portland, Oregon. In 2020 she received her 300 hour yoga teacher training certification with Bhakti Yoga Movement Center. In 2021 Rita became a Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra Facilitator. During the pandemic she offered free yoga nidra classes online to Latina community health workers, creating a virtual space for her community to connect and heal. Rita now lives in Oaxaca, Mexico, where she paints, writes and hikes with her dog Sorpresa. Learn more about her passion for yoga via her blog
