Aviva is an incredibly gifted teacher whose knowledge, straightforward communication, and thoughtful presence inspire students to listen to their own bodies. I’ve grown in awareness, in strength, and in confidence thanks to her skillful guidance. She’s a treasure.

I returned to yoga a few years ago and by happy accident went to Aviva’s class. I had zero knowledge of what Forrest yoga was. I am a runner and was also a dancer, so tight hamstrings and chronic turn-outs were causing me various body issues. My lower back pain quickly went a way from going to her class. Her classes are some of my favorite, she really knows her craft and intuitively knows how to adjust you. I’ve gotten stronger and more flexible by going twice a week to her class. She truly has a gift with yoga!

Aviva is a wonderful teacher who pays close attention to details and each student. She is very intuitive in knowing when someone needs modifications. Her knowledge of the body and yoga techniques is amazing. She is kind and gentle. Great for beginners and advanced yogis. I can honestly say my practice has gotten better since working with Aviva. I have a deeper passion and understanding of yoga and the body than I ever have. I feel strong and healthy and I look at my body as a temple, with less negative self talk. I owe a lot of that to Aviva and her skills as a practitioner. ❤️

I am so grateful to have found Aviva's Forrest Yoga Class at Leela Yoga in Alameda. This is the first time I have committed to a regular yoga practice after years of trying.
Aviva brings a wealth of knowledge and an intuitive presence to her classes, creating a space that is inclusive, caring, and playful. Her Wisdom of the Psoas workshop opened my hips and my whole body in ways that surprised and delighted me!
I leave Aviva's classes feeling deeply connected to myself, inspired and strong.

Every time I work with Aviva I am able to quiet my mind and listen to my body with her guidance in a way that I have not mastered on my own yet. I’m able to sink into the proper form for positions I struggle with in other classes, and really use her guidance to remain present. Can’t say enough good things about Aviva!!!

After having severe lower back problems and recently the loss of my dog, Aviva helped me both physically and emotionally. Today my heart is not as heavy and my body feels great. Such a pleasure! Will see you next week for some more of that goodness!
