Anita Perrigo, B.Sc.PT, BPE, RYT

Anita has been teaching yoga at Inspiration Yoga Studio since it first opened almost 4 years ago. She has been teaching fitness for over 20 years and worked as a physiotherapist for over 15 years.

Anita’s yoga journey began almost 12 years ago when she developed sciatica as a result of being pregnant with her first child. Yoga helped her create stability in her pelvis while maintaining mobility. As her children got a little more independent, Anita started to pursue yoga for fitness. Noticing the amazing physical and emotional benefits that came with her yoga practice, she started to study yoga and began to incorporate it into her physiotherapy and personal training practices.

For years I was swimming in the pool, up and down, up and down the lane... The exercise would always bring me a peaceful mind and keep me in shape, but I always had a feeling that there is something else out there. I just needed to find it.

One day a friend took me along to a yoga class, it was Vinyasa style. I had a wonderful experience! The asanas (poses) were challenging, the movement synchronized with breath was magical, and the teacher played a guitar at the end and sang Kirtan (chanting). The whole class was amazing and I just wanted more. I knew right then and there… this was it.

At that time I was living in Mallorca, a small island in Spain. I went to different yoga classes and different teachers, I was practicing daily immersing deeper and deeper into the practice. Yoga brought a different light to my life, I became more tuned to myself and others, more loving and compassionate and peaceful.

Feeling the benefits of practicing yoga I wanted to share this gift with others and decided to become a teacher. I chose to study Ashtanga as it resonated with me the most. I took my teacher training in Costa Rica with Source of Yoga recognized by the Yoga Alliance of which I am now a registered teacher.
