Via Page, RYT 500, is double-certified by Yoga Alliance to teach both Hatha and Gentle Hatha Yoga. She trained with Lanita Varshell at A Gentle Way Yoga and Joyful Movement Center in La Mesa, CA and completed her 500 RYT certification with Erika Faith Hattingh of Cloud Nine Yoga, Huntington Beach, CA. Via has also trained with Sarah Powers, Rod Stryker, Judith Lasater, Paul Grilley, Paulie Zink, and Jill Miller (Yoga Tune Up®). Her speciality yoga certifications include Yin Yoga, Yoga Tune Up®, and Yoga in Chairs for MS. Via is also a Certified Pilates Instructor (CPI), trained and certified by BASI (Body Arts and Science International) to teach Pilates mat and Pilates on the apparatus.

Yoga has been an integral part of Via's life journey for the past 25 years, with the integration of Pilates as a second discipline over the past 15 years. Via's yoga teaching focus has been gentle yoga, restorative yoga, and yin yoga postures that stretch connective tissues. She integrates Yoga Tune Up® inspired movements and stretches into her classes and privates. She is teaching Yoga Tune Up® at Redondo Beach Yoga, Yin Yoga Tune Up® at Spectrum  Fitness South Bay and Spectrum Fitness Redondo Beach and Yoga Tune Up® for Bonebuilding at Beach Cities Health District. She teaches other yoga and pilates classes at Beach Cities, Spectrum Fitness, Ofie's Elite Physiques, Redondo Beach Yoga, and Back for Yoga. She schedules privates, semi-privates, and small group classes in her yoga studio and a fully equipped Pilates studio in her home.

Via's dream is to make the life-changing magic of yoga and pilates available to people who think they can't practice yoga and pilates - people with health challenges and motion restrictions, people who are inflexible, people with round bodies, people who think they are "too old" to practice yoga and pilates. She has emphasized yin-style yoga in her classes until now. Since she completed teacher training in Yoga Tune Up® earlier this year, all of her classes are spiced with and inspired by Yoga Tune Up® and she is making plans to schedule and teach more classes that are purely Yoga Tune Up®.

Via is available to teach in studios, gyms, and corporate and community settings in the South Bay of Los Angeles, CA and other locations nearby. Her public class schedule is posted at her website, www.viayoga.us. Via is also available for private yoga and Pilates sessions. She comments on various aspects of yoga and pilates for her students at her blog, which is at www.viayogablog.us. She is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ViaPage.
