meet ateeka
With over 20 years of extensive background in traditional yoga studies and practice, Ateeka shares a yoga that is immediate, fluid and experiential. It is a healing and meditative process infused with tantric wisdom and the grace of many masters. Ateeka's meeting with her spiritual master, Osho, when she age 26 changed the course of her life and teachings forever.
Rather than committing to a particular yoga system or lineage, she chooses to come from the “lineage of life!” Her teachings reflect and encourage the innate intelligence of the bio-system Ateeka continues to explore the bridge between traditional yoga studies, meditation and modern somatic approaches.
Practices with Ateeka are exploratory, changing, growing and evolving. No class is ever the same and each offers an opportunity to move deeply into movement that is initiated by the fluid systems of the body. What Ateeka is sharing a new and different dimension of the yoga practice . . . the yoga of possibilities. . . of exploring our evolutionary ancestry, elemental heritage and energetic spectrum . . . of natural intelligence and playfulness and fluidity and compassion. She aims that her sharings are as much without doctrine or dogma or hierarchy as possible and has a spherical opportunity to learn from and contribute to the immediate environment.
She is a E-Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200) with the Yoga Alliance, member of the International Yoga Therapists Association and director of an internationally recognized Yoga Teacher Training program.
