Aricha Smith

Aricha is a new instructor at Core Star as of February 2010. She is a Eugene native who took her first yoga class from Livia Evans at Lane Community College 5 years ago and instantly knew that she'd found her calling. In addition to preparing her mind, body and soul for each day, she quickly found that yoga helped her confront and make peace with body image issues as a result of anorexia in her teenage years. Yoga has become an undeniably integral part of her life and she has experienced the positive effects of a regular practice firsthand.

She is eager to help others experience the joy, healing and growth that is possible when one approaches the practice of yoga with an open mind and heart. Aricha completed her 200 hour instructor training at Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico during the month of November 2009 ans is Yoga Alliance certified. She is trained in Hatha yoga with an emphasis on alignment and heart and body sensation awareness.

Join her each Tuesday and Thursday morning for Rise and Shine Hatha Flow from 7-8 a.m. for an hour of healing and self-discovery. First class free. Afterwards, a suggested $5 donation applies.
